Mark Twain's "What Is Man?" is a provocative exploration of human nature, challenging readers to confront uncomfortable truths about themselves and society. This collection of American essays, rooted in philosophical inquiry, delves into the age-old debate of free will versus determinism. Twain fearlessly examines the pervasive influence of self-interest, suggesting that human actions are not driven by genuine altruism, but by ingrained instincts and external influences.

Known for his sharp wit and insightful observations, Twain presents a thought-provoking, and often pessimistic, perspective on the human condition. He dissects ethical and moral philosophy, prompting reflection on the very essence of what it means to be human. Prepare to question deeply held beliefs as Twain masterfully deconstructs conventional wisdom, leaving readers to ponder the extent to which our choices are truly our own. This historically significant text offers a timeless and compelling lens through which to examine ourselves and the world around us.

This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
