"Man is a machine" by Julien Aufre de La Metre is a philosophical work that has a significant impact on views on the nature of man and his role in the world. The author argues his thesis that a person is the same machine as any other mechanism, and his behavior can be explained solely by physical reasons. The book caused heated debate in its time and continues to arouse interest today, prompting readers to think deeply about the nature of human consciousness and will. In this work, La Metre offered his own interpretation of the problem of body and mind, which became an important contribution to the development of philosophy and science.
