ContieneIdeeen / 1 di Peter Watson (indirettamente) Ideeën de geschiedenis van het menselijk denken di Peter Watson (indirettamente) Ideas: A History - From Wittgenstein to the World Wide Web Volume I di Peter Watson (indirettamente) Ideas: A History From Wittgenstein to the World Wide Web Volume II di Peter Watson (indirettamente)
In this hugely ambitious and exciting book Peter Watson tells the history of ideas from prehistory to the present day, leading to a new way of telling the history of the world. The book begins over a million years ago with a discussion of how the earliest ideas might have originated. Looking at animal behaviour that appears to require some thought - tool-making, territoriality, counting, language (or at least sounds), pairbonding - Peter Watson moves on to the apeman and the development of simple ideas such as cooking, the earliest language, the emergence of family life. All the obvious areas are tackled - the Ancient Greeks, Christian theology, the ideas of Jesus, astrological thought, the soul, the self, beliefs about the heavens, the ideas of Islam, the Crusades, humanism, the Renaissance, Gutenberg and the book, the scientific revolution, the age of discovery, Shakespeare, the idea of Revolution, the Romantic imagination, Darwin, imperialism, modernism, Freud right up to the present day and the internet.

The good points: this dude has done his research, and somehow makes things interesting that I couldn't have given fewer shits about.
The bad points: SO GODDAMN LONG. Four(?) looooong chapters on early Christians, and then two paragraphs about the origins of mathematics. The ebook has no internal structure, so you can't even skip chapters you don't care about. Watson doesn't know the difference between hyphens and dashes, which I never realized was important until this book---it caused a lot of re-parsing on my part. Desperately needs an editor.
If you're curious in the social fabric of the history of the world, you could do worse than this book. I wasn't, so I couldn't. ( )
