Definition

  • Scholars differ widely as to the weight of the leader's personality in shaping historical events. Opinions range from that of the nineteenth-century Scottish historian Thomas Carlyle, who said that history is simply the biography of leaders, to the argument put forward by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, who said that historical processes are deterministic and that leaders are simply borne along on the waves of history.
