Ep. 284: Mark Twain’s Philosophy of Human Nature (Part One)

The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast - Ein Podcast von Mark Linsenmayer, Wes Alwan, Seth Paskin, Dylan Casey

On "What Is Man" (1905). Twain describes a person as a machine. We have no free will and always act to win our own self-approval. This was a bleak enough picture that the essay was not printed until after Twain's death. Part two of this episode is only going to be available to you if you sign up at partiallyexaminedlife.com/support or via Apple Podcasts.
