Riassunto

Is man a machine? A captivating, thought‑provoking dispute that asks what really makes us human and how we guide our conduct.

This edition presents the famous debate between Clarence Darrow and Will Durant on the question of mechanism and free will. It frames the discussion in a clear, accessible way and situates it within the history of philosophy and psychology, inviting readers to weigh competing views about mind, body, and life. The exchanges cover what science can explain about living beings, the limits of mechanical thinking, and the nature of human action, without revealing all the book’s details.

- A lively, reader‑friendly exploration of whether humans are governed by machines or by something more
- Clear arguments about free will, consciousness, and the limits of scientific explanation
- Context that highlights the debate’s place in philosophy, psychology, and public discourse
- Forewords and introductions by notable figures that frame the conversation

Ideal for readers of philosophy, public debates, and fans of Clarence Darrow’s courtroom wit.
