Overview

What determines whether greatness endures or quietly disappears? LEGACY is not a book about success, influence, or personal achievement. It is a book about continuity. Across history, many individuals have achieved impact, yet few have secured inheritance. Movements collapse, institutions drift, and values erode not because greatness was absent, but because it was never designed to outlive its bearer. In LEGACY: An Ontology of Continuity, philosopher and educator Patrick Businge examines the rarely addressed question at the heart of endurance: How does what matters survive beyond a single life? This Volume V of The Canon of Eternal Greatness moves beyond becoming and expression into the deeper architecture of transmission. Through restrained philosophical language, civilisational metaphor, and practical moral insight, LEGACY explores how essence is identified, protected, transferred, and sustained across time. Rather than offering techniques or shortcuts, this book invites the reader into a different posture: one that replaces ownership with stewardship, speed with patience, and visibility with responsibility. Inside This Book, You Will Explore: Why impact is immediate, but inheritance is enduring The difference between essence and artefact, and why confusing them destroys continuity How continuity actually happens through architecture, not intention Why stewardship-not control-is the key to lasting legacy How to think and act in generational time Why naming, recognition, and designation are forms of moral infrastructure The role of institutions as living carriers of meaning Why unrecorded greatness is easily erased How legacy fractures and how it can be repaired What it means to carry other people's legacy responsibly The quiet victory when continuity no longer needs you This is not a book to be rushed. It is a book to be entered, returned to, and lived with. Who This Book Is For Leaders concerned with succession, not status Educators, founders, and institution-builders Thinkers, stewards, and elders in formation Anyone asking not ""How do I succeed?"" but ""How does what matters continue?""
