What Is Man?

What Is Man?

"What is Man?", published by Samuel Clemens as Mark Twain in 1906, is a dialogue between a young man and an older man jaded to the world. It involves ideas of destiny and free will, as well as of psychological egoism. The Old Man asserted that the human being is merely a machine, and nothing more. The Young Man objects, and asks him to go into particulars and furnish his reasons for his position.

It is possible Fact|date=June 2008 that this is one of Mark Twain's satires, rather than an earnest outlay of his opinions about human nature.
