Great Men And Their Environment

""Great Men and Their Environment"" is a book written by William James, a renowned American philosopher and psychologist. The book explores the impact of environment on the lives of great men throughout history. James argues that the environment in which a person lives can greatly influence their personality, beliefs, and actions. He examines the lives of various historical figures, including Napoleon, Shakespeare, and Michelangelo, and analyzes how their environment shaped their achievements and failures. James also discusses the role of genetics and heredity in shaping a person's environment, and how individuals can transcend their environment through their own willpower and determination. The book is a fascinating exploration of the complex relationship between individuals and their surroundings, and offers insights into how we can better understand ourselves and the world around us.THIS 46 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Will to Believe and Other Essays in Popular Philosophy, by William James.
