Do you want to read What is Man? If so then keep reading... In "What is Man?" Mark Twain raises numerous thought-provoking questions about mankind and the way the mind works. With his usual wit, Twain has created a beautiful dialogue that in many ways can be compared to that in Plato's The Republic. In this book, Twain's knack for explaining reality without any of its grand notions is on full display. Though short enough to be read in one sitting, it perceptively reveals why people act as they do. Readers will feel that they are engaged in a modern lecture between a seasoned philosophy professor and his most accomplished student. Through the dialogue, you get a sense that this piece of writing is the epitome of Samuel Clemen's look on life, although debatable. Regardless of how you feel at the end of the essay, if read carefully, you will at least question your own daily motives and perhaps everyone else's that has come before you.

"What Is Man?" is a short story by American writer Mark Twain, published in 1906. It is a dialogue between a Young Man and an Old Man regarding the nature of man. This was Twain's most serious, philosophical and private book. He kept it locked in his desk, considered it to be his Bible, and spoke of it as such to friends when he read them passages. He had written it, rewritten it, was finally satisfied with it, but still chose not to release it until after his death. It appears in the form of a dialogue between an old man and a young man who discuss who and what mankind really is and provides a new and different way of looking at who we are and the way we live. Anyone who thinks Twain was not a brilliant philosopher should read this book. We consider ourselves as free and autonomous people, yet this book puts forth the ideas that 1) We are nothing more than machines and originate nothing - not even a single thought; 2) All conduct arises from one motive - self-satisfaction; 3) Our temperament is completely permanent and unchangeable; and 4) Man is of course a product of heredity, and our future, being fixed, is irrevocable -- which makes life completely predetermined

Old Man. There have been instances of it-you think?Young Man. Instances? Millions of them!O.M. You have not jumped to conclusions? You have examined them-critically?Y.M. They don't need it: the acts themselves reveal the golden impulse back of them.O.M. For instance?Y.M. Well, then, for instance. Take the case in the book here. The man lives three miles up-town.It is bitter cold, snowing hard, midnight. He is about to enter the horse-car when a gray and raggedold woman, a touching picture of misery, puts out her lean hand and begs for rescue from hungerand death. The man finds that he has a quarter in his pocket, but he does not hesitate: he gives it herand trudges home through the storm. There-it is noble, it is beautiful; its grace is marred by nofleck or blemish or suggestion of self-interest.O.M. What makes you think that?Y.M. Pray what else could I think? Do you imagine that there is some other way of looking at it?O.M. Can you put yourself in the man's place and tell me what he felt and what he thought?Y.M. Easily. The sight of that suffering old face pierced his generous heart with a sharp pain. Hecould not bear it. He could endure the three-mile walk in the storm, but he could not endure thetortures his conscience would suffer if he turned his back and left that poor old creature to perish.He would not have been able to sleep, for thinking of it.O.M. What was his state of mind on his way home?Y.M. It was a state of joy which only the self-sacrificer knows. His heart sang, he was unconsciousof the storm.O.M. He felt well?Y.M. One cannot doubt it.
