The history of the world, he wrote, is but the biography of great men. Other philosophers and historians took issue, and the modern sense of history has been very much about economic and social forces, not heroes. But the idea that history is biography retains some of its appeal. And the memory of Nelson Mandela that we're all indulging in today brings the idea of The Great Man into the realm of discussion.
