Adventure and Ambition - Alexander The Great

This monograph, like all others in the series, is centered on three values: illumination, heroism and harmony. Heroism can easily be seen in Alexander’s character. No deed, no ambition seem too high for him. Equally, if he would have had more time—he died at 33!—, he might have been able to develop a high level of illumination, as in many difficult situations he has shown a great capacity for intuition. One can also perceive a potentiality for harmony in the fact that he was able to show many fine qualities as an administrator of a vast empire.
