Utopian way of life, every man enjoys the opportunity to be a man because no one has the possibility to be a monster. The main purpose of man is to grow up to the limit of the stature of its kind. Lewis Mumford (1895–1990) was an American historian, sociologist, philosopher of technology, and literary critic. Particularly noted for his study of cities and urban architecture, he had a broad career as a writer.
