This is sad. I've read and continue to read more of the writings of the old classic 'Philosophers', the reason I find their writing is because I like to imagine, when they wrote their ideas and indeed philosophies, people of the time might have imagined them as new age and progressive.
They were in a way, but by no means intentionally, just laying out ideas that people should think about.
When it comes to people like Clayton Christensen, I really do regard him in the same class. I was fortunate to have been introduced to him by another idol of mine, and straight away, it was clear, this is a person who really uses all the imagination that is possible, questions what the norms are, and at the same time will reign everything in to practicality.
After that I went and read : 'How will you measure your ife?'
I was young enough at the time, in my 20's and thought I had the world figured out. This book quickly corrected that.
I have met only a handful of people who know who this modern philosopher is, but everyone will agree: He has made an impact.
It's a life well spent. And I hope to find more like him.
