Thomas Carlyle

1795–1881

Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881) was a Scottish philosopher, historian, and social critic whose works like 'Sartor Resartus' and 'On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History' championed a moral, anti-materialist vision of history and society. He railed against the dehumanizing effects of industrial capitalism and the 'Mechanical Age,' advocating for a return to spiritual values and strong leadership. His prophetic, often abrasive style influenced Victorian thought and later existentialist and conservative critiques of modernity.
