The Hero As Prophet is a collection of essays written by Thomas Carlyle, a Scottish philosopher, historian, and writer. The book explores the concept of heroism and the role of great individuals in shaping society. Carlyle argues that heroes are not only exceptional individuals but also prophets who have a deep understanding of the world and can inspire others to follow their lead. He examines the lives of several historical figures, including Muhammad, Oliver Cromwell, and Napoleon Bonaparte, and analyzes their impact on society. Carlyle also discusses the importance of religion and spirituality in shaping the hero's character and vision. The Hero As Prophet is a thought-provoking and insightful work that continues to influence contemporary discussions on leadership and social change.THIS 46 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History, by Thomas Carlyle.
