The Story of Civilization Wit Cloaks Quixote Philosophy
Will Durant reviews Cervantes Don Quixote as a satire that grows into a deep meditation on life. He contrasts Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, notes the book’s episodic liberty, and argues its enduring value lies in the philosophy beneath its humor. Durant links Quixote to Hamlet and Torments of idealism versus realism. He suggests every person harbors a Quixote and a Sancho, shaping our worldly and idealistic impulses.
