About Heroes, Legends, Champions: Why Heroism Matters: This book explains what heroes are and what they are not, why human beings need heroes, that and how everyman and everywoman can rise to heroic heights, how to assess morally flawed heroes, the errors of the modernist anti-hero mentality, the important role played by a proper hero worship in human life, and more.
About the Topics I Would Like to Discuss: There are many. We could discuss why I wrote this book, what heroes are, why we need heroes, in what sense everyman can be a hero, why heroes are ignored and/or attacked in our society, the valuable role of a proper hero worship in human life, the prospects for increased heroism in the future, and much more. The topic of heroes is perennially fascinating. We could have endless discussions on the topic.
