The Role of the Individual in History

Book •
In this essay, Plekhanov argues against the Narodnik school's subjective sociology, which exalts the hero as an autonomous creator of history.

He posits that the individual's influence in history is determined by broader historical conditions and social forces, rather than by personal attributes alone.

This work is significant in Marxist theory as it emphasizes the importance of objective historical conditions over individual actions.
