It is a bit unfortunate that the Durants crammed all non-Western history in a single volume while devoting ten to European history, but it was a product of its time. Still, it is certainly well written and few historians attempt this sort of "complete" history these days.

True... it’s an amazing volume on western philosophy but fails to adequately look at philosophy from other cultures.
