A landmark debate on a timeless question: is human life explainable by machines and laws, or does a spark of life lift us beyond mechanism?
This nonfiction edition captures a probing exchange between Clarence Darrow and Will Durant as they explore whether man is a machine, the role of science, and the nature of free will. The discussion moves from biology and chemistry to philosophy and culture, inviting readers to consider how we define ourselves. In these exchanges, the speakers challenge each other with hard questions about the limits of science, the meaning of life, and the possibility of conscience and choice within a mechanical view of existence. The dialogue emphasizes logic, evidence, and the way ideas shape daily conduct, inviting readers to weigh competing viewpoints without revealing all the answers. What you’ll experience:
