Key Notes
Jiang says Philip belongs to a recurring class of great men who create revolutions that transform the world, alongside Muhammad, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, and Julius Caesar.
Jiang says great men such as Philip stand outside history and are in many ways not human because they do not behave like normal princes seeking comfort, friends, and personal enjoyment.
Jiang says the class is different because it looks at the entire scope of human history.
The central concept to remember is that world history is constantly in competition and that some ideas or social forms win out over others.
