为什么值得读

  • 全书仅约百余页却包含极高信息量
  • 探讨秩序与自由在社会演进中的平衡
  • 提供审视历史规律与社会模型的实用视角

本书由10卷本 The Story of Civilization 的作者撰写,这部不足120页的简短著述记录了“可能阐明当下事务、未来走向、人类本性以及国家行为的事件与见解”。全书13章探讨了史学编纂(何谓历史)、历史与地球、历史与生物学、种族、性格、道德、宗教、经济、社会主义、政府、战争以及盛衰兴亡。最后一章提出了疑问:“进步是真实的吗?”

  • 威尔和阿里尔·杜兰特的《历史的教训》(Lessons of History)。我尤其推荐有声书版本,里面包含了杜兰特夫妇的额外采访和旁白注解。篇幅很短(约 115 页),但信息量极大。http://www.worldcat.org/title/lessons-of-history-by-will-and...…
