The Nature Of Man

Eric Hoffer gives an extended dialogue on man's Weaknesses and how they relate to the total process of learning to become human. From a relatively incomplete animal at birth, man must struggle to attempt the impossible - to overcome weaknesses and survive. Human nature is highly unnatural in comparison with the simplicity of the physical sciences--so much so that man must, of necessity, hate himself and his frailties.
