The Lessons of History by Will Durant
1.0
Hooter: Series of essays on history from different views from half a century ago
A summary of the thoughts of him and her on the basis of their massive Story of Civilisation, lessons of history is a series of essays around evolution of morality, religion, race, economics, philosophy and other themes in due course of history. The views come across as pretty dated in today's age and time and that dissonance kept me from really engaging with this book. Probably relatable to a certain group and an era, clearly I didn't make that cut.
Summary - whilst there are resonating facts, the opinions haven't necessarily aged well
