https://doi.org/10.18384/2310-676X-2016-4-16-23

Abstract

This article deals with the problem of the biographical method in history developed in the works of the XIX century Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881). The connection of the biographical method with the problem of the role of a «great man» in history is also analyzed. The aim of this article is to analyze Carlyle’s works, published in the period of 18311865 and affecting the problem of the role of «heroes» in history. It is concluded that Carlyle’s views on a «great man»’s role in history evolved from the interest to the biography of a man in general to the identification of a particular historical event with the «hero»’s activities.
