本書是國內(nèi)第一部全英文西方文明史教材，系統(tǒng)講述從古希臘羅馬時(shí)期、中世紀(jì)到現(xiàn)代的西方文明發(fā)展進(jìn)程，體現(xiàn)中國視角和批判性思維。感謝國際關(guān)系學(xué)院、昆明城市學(xué)院，以及中央黨校(國家行政學(xué)院)副校長(副院長)李文堂、北大歷史學(xué)系朱孝遠(yuǎn)、北師大歷史學(xué)院楊共樂三位教授推薦，本書配套慕課已在“學(xué)習(xí)強(qiáng)國”“學(xué)堂在線”“智慧樹”“中國高校外語慕課平臺”和“國家高等教育智慧平臺“上線，入選首批國家智慧教育公共服務(wù)平臺國際版課程，被評為北京高校優(yōu)質(zhì)本科教材課件、北京高校優(yōu)質(zhì)本科課程、北京市課程思政示范課、云南省一流本科課程。
“沉舟側(cè)畔干帆過，病樹前頭萬木春�！辈徽撌俏鞣竭�是東方，人類文明的歷史不就是在黑暗中不斷摸索和尋求光明嗎？文化要自信，文明要互鑒。這將是一場漫長而驚心動魄之旅，讓我們從古希臘出發(fā)，一起領(lǐng)略西方文明的美妙與燦爛，也去發(fā)現(xiàn)其丑惡和黑暗。
