Sinopsis

In 'On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History,' Thomas Carlyle explores the profound influence of great individuals on the course of human events. Through a series of lectures, Carlyle examines different types of heroes-the divinity hero (Odin), the prophet hero (Muhammad), the poet hero (Dante and Shakespeare), the priest hero (Luther and Knox), and the man of letters hero (Johnson, Rousseau, Burns). Carlyle?s work delves into the qualities that define a hero, arguing that genuine heroes possess sincerity, originality, and an ability to inspire and lead others. He emphasizes the importance of hero-worship as a natural and beneficial human instinct, suggesting that society thrives when it recognizes and follows its true leaders.
