- Chaya (or Ada) Kaufman was born in Ukraine and emigrated with her family to the USA. In 1913, while a 15-year-old schoolgirl in New York City, she fell in love with and married Will Durant, one of her teachers. The most famous story told about her is that she was so young, she arrived at City Hall on rollerskates for their wedding. Durant called her Ariel, and she later adopted the name legally. She was involved with her husband in the writing of every volume of The Story of Civilization but only received author credit for the volumes published in 1961 and after. She shared the Pulitzer Prize in 1968 for "Rousseau and Revolution."

Next, they followed the transition across the continent of various religious wars that saw either the rise or follow of great powers from prominence that ultimately went from how God was worshiped but what was politically more important. Then they completed the volume with the rise of science and slow return of now religious inspired philosophy. Even though the Durants focused on philosophy and scientific advances in the last 100 pages of the book, they did not neglect cultural developments in literature to theater to music to the development of scientific thought, it was in this area that one could tell Will Durant was enjoying writing. After three volumes in which Will Durant had to focus on religion more than he liked this volume a reader of the series could tell change in Will’s writing that could by a result of Ariel or Will love of philosophy and science.
The Age of Reason Begins is a transitional volume of Will Durant’s The Story of Civilization not only in the transition into the Early Modern Era but also the involvement of his wife Ariel as a cowriter.… (mehr)
