Patrick Stewart taught us what good men do with power
A widely shared essay argues that Patrick Stewart's portrayal of Captain Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek offered a lasting model of ethical leadership: authority exercised with restraint, humility, intellectual honesty and respect for others. Readers are revisiting the character as a touchstone for discussing liberalism and what principled use of power should look like in public life.
Why now: The essay's argument that Picard embodies humane, liberal leadership is resonating as people look for models of decent authority in current politics.
