Are we living in a post-heroic age? \u003ci\u003eThe Republican Hero\u003c\/i\u003e addresses both these questions. The general tenor of modern thinking is that heroes do matter but that the modern age is characterized by a narrowing of moral horizons once illuminated by heroes, secular and spiritual. Michael Lusztig argues that the modern world is not post-heroic. He makes the case that the modern age is the \u003ci\u003emost\u003c\/i\u003e heroic age, if measured in terms of the Aristotelian currency of balance and completeness. To this end, he identifies four main hero-types-the epic, magnanimous, Romantic, and common. Each can rightfully be called a republican hero: each contributes to the promotion or protection or provision of republican values. Each exemplifies the heroic virtues of their age. However, taken conjunctively, each contributes to what Lusztig conceives as the complete republican hero of the modern age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Lusztig \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Political Science at Southern Methodist University.
