The Story of Civilization - Will and Ariel Durant
Reading this so far has been one of the most rewarding learning experiences of my life. If you are interested in how philosophy, religion, and civilization has emerged and grown in our species, than you will be constantly delighted while reading this. The Durants are equal to none.
- jhbadger 8y agoIt is a bit unfortunate that the Durants crammed all non-Western history in a single volume while devoting ten to European history, but it was a product of its time. Still, it is certainly well written and few historians attempt this sort of "complete" history these days.
- sonabinu 8y agoTrue... it’s an amazing volume on western philosophy but fails to adequately look at philosophy from other cultures.
