Ideas (Peter Watson)

Why it’s on the list: A single-volume history of human thought, organised around inventions of the mind rather than around events.

Where I saw it: A reply to @typesfast’s question on X, June 5, 2025 — “What’s the best history book you’ve read?” — recovered from that thread and saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Books To Read”. Thread: https://x.com/typesfast/status/1930617097068912787

Suffixed with the author because Ideas is already a concept page in the wiki.
