“No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of the great men” so wrote Carlyle. The second book of the Representational Man carries more anecdotes of great men whose personal lives made a history of sorts- a sideshow to the onward passage of mankind. Anecdotes of Einstein, Darwin, Voltaire, MK Gandhi, Wilde and Freud for example bring the larger movement of ideas into focus and on a personal level.
