Reading On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and The Heroic in History | Alexandria
Read On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and The Heroic in History by Thomas Carlyle. Reframing the "great man" icon as both product and producer of historical forces, Carlyle's heroes reveal an uncomfortable truth: authentic leadership emerges from crisis, not comfort - suggesting our hunger for polished, camera-ready figures may blind us to the raw, transformative leaders we actually need.
