Man As He Is

Man As He Is is a philosophical treatise written by Robert Bage, first published in 1792. The book explores the nature of humanity and the various factors that influence human behavior and thought. Bage argues that humans are complex beings with a range of emotions, desires, and impulses that can both help and hinder their ability to live a fulfilling life.Throughout the book, Bage examines various philosophical and scientific theories about human nature, including the ideas of John Locke, David Hume, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. He also discusses the impact of social institutions, such as religion and government, on human behavior and society.One of the key themes of the book is the importance of individual freedom and autonomy. Bage argues that humans have the capacity to make their own choices and should be allowed to do so without undue influence or coercion from others. He also emphasizes the role of reason and rationality in guiding human behavior and decision-making.Overall, Man As He Is is a thought-provoking exploration of human nature and the factors that shape our lives. It offers insights into the complexities of the human experience and challenges readers to think critically about their own beliefs and values.""Oh, any man; every man, if it could be found; but know you any individual in which such judgment resides? If any one has pretensions to elegance of her own, is it not sacrificed at the shrine of fashion? Is there any one who does not execrate (I do not mean that ladies swear) the tyranny which subjects them to incommodious and ugly habiliments? one who does not cry out upon the shocking--the absurd of this new invented --something, even on their way to the miliners, where they are hastening, like racers to the goal, lest the evanescent cap of folly should be gone before they had worn it?""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
