Man The Unknown

"To progress again, man must remake himself. And he cannot remake himself without suffering. For he is both the marble and the sculptor. In order to uncover his true visage he must shatter his own substance with heavy blows of his hammer." Man, The Unknown is a top-selling work by Alexis Carrel. In this book, he attempts to provide a thorough overveiw of what is unknown -about the human body and existence. One of the greatest scientists of all time, Carrel explains the nature of man, his physical and mental makeup, and how, with the careful use of his increwdible, divinely endowed abilities, he can dominate his cosmos. The book clarifies contemporary issues and suggests paths toward improving humankind's lot in existence. It is particularly well-known for supporting euthanasia and eugenics.
