The theme of man vs self is apparent throughout the novel and is

have a wrong conception of what philosophy is and wants to achieve. Just as physical science is helpful to many ignorant people‚ philosophy is helpful indirectly on lives of those who study it. ▪ So‚ we must run from the “practical man”‚ who sees everything in dollars‚ food‚ and goods. Even if all disease and poverty was gone‚ there would still be much to be done in efforts to build a valuable society. The goods of the mind are just as important as the goods of the body.
