What science can't handle

The 11 volumes of The Durants’ Story of Civilization — *The 11 volumes of* *The Durants’* Story of Civilization

“Philosophy accepts the hard and hazardous task of dealing with problems not yet open to the methods of science — problems like good and evil, beauty and ugliness, order and freedom, life and death.’’

— Will Durant (1885-1981), historian, in The Story of Philosophy. Born in North Adams, Mass., of French-Canadian parents, the once-famous Durant was best known for the work The Story of Civilization, 11 volumes written in collaboration with his wife, Ariel Durant, and published between 1935 and 1975.
