The Soul of Man by Oscar Wilde

In this philosophical essay, the author argues that true progress and beauty in society can only arise from individual freedom and the rejection of conformity. He envisions a future where machines do all labor, liberating humans to pursue art and self-expression. The plot unfolds as a passionate plea for anarchism and the reimagining of socialism—not as regulation, but as a space for creativity. With wit and paradox, it challenges conventional morality and economics. It’s a bold, poetic manifesto for artistic individualism.
