This book can be called a historical and philosophical work that everyone can understand and must read. In 1968, in order to make it easier for general readers to read the 11-volume "Story of Civilization" (or translated as "History of World Civilization"), the Durants wrote "The Lessons of History" on this basis. "The Lessons of History" condenses the essence of 11 volumes. Through succinct outlines, it explains in detail the role played by geographical conditions, economic conditions, racial superiority and inferiority, human nature, religious activities, socialism, government, war, morality, laws of rise and decline, biological evolution, etc. In history. It outlines the relationship between history and all aspects of human life, and summarizes the huge spiritual legacy that history has left to mankind, embodying their "complete historical view" of human history.
