| Summary | "The Making of a Man" by Rev. J. W. Lee is a philosophical work written in the late 19th century. The book explores the nature of humanity and the various forces—physical, social, intellectual, ethical, and spiritual—that contribute to the development of a true man. Lee proposes that understanding and enhancing human nature is central to realizing one's potential and fulfilling one's role in society. At the start of the text, the author establishes a philosophical framework for discussing the relationship between man and nature, arguing that while humans are part of the natural world, they possess unique qualities that elevate them above mere animals. The opening chapters focus on the ideas of creation and purpose, presenting man as the pinnacle of a grand design, where each element of nature serves to elevate and enrich human life. Through a detailed discussion of bread as a metaphor for life-sustaining provision, Lee posits that food and commerce play essential roles in forging social relationships that enhance human existence. This perspective sets the stage for a broader exploration of how human beings can cultivate their physical, social, and spiritual natures in pursuit of a higher self.
