An Essay on Man
A philosophical poem by the English poet A. Pope. It was first published anonymously in 1733-34. It is in the form of four epistolary poems addressed to Lord Bolingbroke, with a heroic couplet as the poetic form. The first letter explains the relationship between humans and God and the universe, and presents the idea of ​​the "chain of being." The second letter describes human nature and its psychological characteristics, and advocates the harmony between reason and desire. The third letter deals with the relationship between humans and society, tracing the development of society from a primitive state to civilization. The fourth letter, published somewhat later, discusses the nature of happiness.
