In <em>Essay on Man,</em> Pope discusses the relationship between men and God. He argues that men cannot hope to learn God's reasoning behind his creation of the world. Therefore, they can only trust that he has done what is best, and accept the outcome.

Pope is concerned that, with the advancement of science, people are becoming overly arrogant, and they think they are "imitating God." However, this arrogance only makes us fools and diminishes the purity of our spiritual essence. He says: "Know then thyself, presume not God to scan/The proper study of Mankind is Man." Men should focus on the study of men, and not on the questioning of God.
