Carlyle's exploration of heroism emphasizes the vital role heroes play in shaping history and inspiring humanity. He defines heroes as individuals with a "great spirit" who motivate others, examining various types such as political leaders and poets. While he acknowledges the importance of hero-worship for personal aspiration, he critiques the admiration of contemporary figures lacking true heroism. Advocating for a return to genuine moral and spiritual values, Carlyle's work has significantly influenced subsequent thinkers and remains relevant in discussions of heroism today.
