Who this is
“He died believing he had failed — and went on to shape more human lives, for more centuries, than perhaps any thinker who ever lived.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“A good society isn't built by force or law but by cultivated people — and anyone, whatever their birth, can become one through learning, ritual, and humaneness.”
