Patrick Stewart and the ethics of power

Original: Patrick Stewart taught us what good men do with power

A Vox essay examines Patrick Stewart's portrayal of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek as a model of principled leadership, arguing the character shows how good men should exercise power with restraint, humility and moral seriousness. Readers are discussing whether Picard's liberal idealism still offers a useful template for public life and leadership today.

Why now: The essay is being read as a commentary on leadership and values at a time of political anxiety, prompting debate about role models for power.
