Two of the most brilliant minds that ever lived. They passed away about 7-8 years before I was born, and I cherish their works with every fiber of my soul. Thank you, Will and Ariel Durant, for dedicating your lives to educating the world for years to come. ❤

I have become thirsty for knowledge as a result of these two...God bless their soul

The Story of Civilization, is nothing short of a masterpiece.

Their multi volume set of Early Civilization has been a joy to read mist of my life. Easy reading and well written. An amazing accomplishment.

A few pages of the Durants a day, read in quiet contemplation-- the perfect antidote to the mind numbing junk food coming across our device screens via social media. To be able to sit with the Durants at a dinner table for an evening of conversation-- what an elevation of the soul that would bring!

Whenever I feel anxious over the polarisation, tumult and confusion of our time I return to the Durants! It always works. The amount of respect In have for these people is beyond words.

I took care of patients in a mental facility named Harmony House in the corners of Rosecrans and Normandie, Gardena California, back in the 90s. The place was shut down by California Department of Health and the patients were moved to other facilities. Many of them left books behind, which were heading to the trash 🗑 can. I spotted one which called my attention: The Age of Faith by Will Durant. I still have it and is part of my book collection.

What a wonderful example of wit and intelligence. They complimented each other very well.

Waw ! 40 years to write this priceless gift to all humanity

Wonderful, I found Mr Durant in my 40’s, I wish my mind had been awake in my 20’s. I adore this man and he has inspired me to learn.

This lovely film should be remastered.

I love you, Will Durant. My spiritual master.

Still my favorite series of all time, sometimes I find myself wanting a updated version to recent history. Then I realize this would just sadden me and cause a loss of faith in humanity lol. Miss you Will and Ariel, glad you didn’t have to see what those cultures that seemed so bright and promising and optimistic at the end of the series have become in modern times

What a remarkable pair! I feel so honored and privileged to be able to read their wonderful books!

WOW! I am so impressed to see him with his wonderful wife.RIP to both and their great daughter

Splendid. Love the opening remarks by Mr. Durant as regards purpose and so on.

I just subscribed myself on this channel, and this jewel here did it. Great documentary on one of the greatest philosopheres, and historians of out time !!!!!!!

Amazing! Thank you for uploading

I learned about philosophy by getting caught in a rainstorm ~LOL~, truly. I was about 20 years old at the time and was walking down a busy boulevard when the skies opened up and a torrential rain began to fall. I ducked into the first store I could and hoped to wait out the storm and it turned out to be a bookstore. Being a book lover anyway I began to peruse the stacks and just happened to see _The Story Of Philosophy_ by Will smiling out at me. It occurred to me that I knew little more about philosophy than the standard Socrates, Plato, Aristotle stuff I was forced to learn in high school so, out of a passing interest, I started to read the book. Well, long story short - I wound up buying the book and it served to launch my own journey into this fascinating subject. I will go further than that: It changed my life. I have since purchased and read other books by Will and Ariel (just love that name - _ARIEL_ ). I now own two entire sets of _The Story Of Civilization_ , one of them in mint condition with jackets and signed which no one is allowed to touch, and the other which is my "working copy".

Will Durante, um dos meus autores preferidos, que não cheguei a conhecer. Tenho dois livros dele. Saudades! 😢

Thank you ... for this video... God bless you

Right on brother great video 🙏❤️👑🇨🇦

Love ❤️ Will and Ariel Durant Great Souls

The Greatest Love ❤️ Story Will and Ariel so pure great souls wisdom ❤️🙏👑

What a delightful biography

Oh how I wish they could be writing books about our current world with the geopolitical focus on the middle east and asia. Elon Musk will surely be one of those mini-biographies in one of those chapters....been reading their books over the past two years. on last one now...age of napoleon. then I will re-read them again

I’m lucky enough to own this entire series of books… I’m halfway through the first!

… Even more intrigued after having looked at both horoscopes!

How do i read story of civilization? A chapter a day?/ Or how should i approach this great, yet voluminous work?

Elon musk sent me in a quest here.

"I don't apologize for my enjoyment of the flesh." "I wish you were as happy as I am." "I've been reasonably faithful to you, don't you think?" "You have to be 86 to know what love is." "These days, they think of love solely in terms of the body.... The soul doesn't have to be agitated, the body comes at a very low price." "We too had bodies that were desirous and longing." "It may be envy that makes the old think that the young know nothing." "I've met so many fine people that I've almost lost my faith in the wickedness of mankind." "If we gave in to all our secret instincts we'd still be savages and barbarians." "I'm controlling myself at this moment. Let's go home." Heaven would include Sunday afternoon picnics with these two.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The Story of Civilization The story of Philosophy

I love and adore these 2! Someone needs to use a time machine and get them a kindle! In all seriousness, I was a 70s kid and remember and cherish their works... I have all the works on kindle and Audible..plus a handful of actual hard covers from old book stores....this is a great little contemporary doc on their life in the late 70s, great stuff!

I'm almost done reading The Age of Voltaire. At 800 pages it's quite a long read but it's very interesting and extremely well-written.

Elon Musk sent me here.

A marriage with either Mr. Burger or Mr. Money.

They look alien to me ,like from another planet

7:06 what did he say there??

ول ڈورنٹ اور ایریل ڈورنٹ نے " لیسنز آف ہسٹری " تصنیف فرمائی ۔۔۔۔کیا یہ معلومات درست ہیں؟؟؟

Yes, this video is boring and almost meaningless considering the enthusiasm with which I clicked it and even gave it a thumbs up before actually seing it. That said, it is still a good and positive development, because I love the works of these two love birds, and the video has offered some more insight into who exactly these two are, which should further help in contextualizing their works.

lost treasure..... U.S lost both fertile minds .... and Now Barren Land where cactus grow.... yes their books are with us.... will we study to grow fruits on barren lands otherwise ..... Annihilation...

Its books have smeared MUHAMMAD

Interesting...and boring.
