Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book profiles individuals throughout history whose brave, intelligent, and principled actions have informed the ideas underpinning human morality. In the author's view, prevailing historical accounts emphasize events at the expense of the inspiring individuals who shape them. The author hopes that by focusing on the people who have made a difference, contemporary readers can see the personal traits and motivations that can lead to remarkable accomplishments. The thoughtful profiles presented illuminate such virtues as generosity, temperance, wisdom, perseverance, and justice. These qualities, the author argues, are as important today as they were in the lives of the thoughtful people of the past.
