"What Is Man?", published by Mark Twain in 1906, is a dialogue between a young man and an older man jaded to the world. The title refers to Psalm 8-4,[citation needed] which begins 'what is man, that you are mindful of him...'. It involves ideas of destiny and free will, as well as of psychological egoism.

Produktbeschreibung
"What Is Man?", published by Mark Twain in 1906, is a dialogue between a young man and an older man jaded to the world. The title refers to Psalm 8-4,[citation needed] which begins 'what is man, that you are mindful of him...'. 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. The work appears to be a genuine and an earnest debate of his opinions about human nature, rather than satirical. Twain held views similar to that of the old man prior to writing 'What is Man?'. However, he seems to have varied in his opinions of human freedom.

Autorenporträt
Burkholder Media Classics "Of making many books there is no end" (Ecclesiastes 12:12). Everywhere we look we can find books. Hardly is there a place, whether in the home, in the shop, in the workplace, in the museum, or in the religious institution, where we do not find some type of literature. And like Solomon said, "of making many books there is no end." It was true in his day, and it is true in our day. And this is why Burkholder Media has undertaken the task of reprinting Public Domain works that have been written and preserved through the ages. Public Domain books are not under copyright stipulations, and can be distributed freely without permission from the original publisher. But in so doing, Burkholder Media takes every effort to giver proper credit to whom credit is due. Therefore, these reprints retain all pertinent information to acknowledge the original authors and publishers. There is no lack of books being written today, and many good books can be found among this plethora of writing. And yet, there is something special about old books, books that have stood the test of time. This does not mean all old books are good books. In fact, many of the books that have been preserved throughout history are not fit for the Christian mind. Many of them are of little use to the Christian, and as a company, Burkholder Media has undertaken the task of reprinting only those books of value to the Christian mind. Burkholder Media appreciates any and all feedback from our readers. We strive toward excellency, not only in the layout of our books, but also in the character of our books. Everything we do, we do to the glory of God. May He alone be glorified for any and all good that may come from this project of reprinting books that the whole family can be edified wherewith and strengthened in their Christian faith.
