Episode description
Aside from his famous book on the lives and opinions of the greatest philosophers (The Story of Philosophy), the renowned historian, Will Durant, wrote an 11 volume overview of all of human history (The Story of Civilization). In this episode I use vol. 1 (Our Oriental Heritage) as a jumping off point to consider the biological, cultural, and historical common ground we all share and the power of a unified world-view that embraces forward progress into the unknown. Thanks for watching. Check out Will Durant's great books here: Story of Civilization: https://amzn.to/3aSy364 Story of Philosophy: https://amzn.to/3aW8gKa #ASMR #WillDurant #StoryofCivilization
