I have seen many quotes in which most of the time philosopher refer to man instead of human, are they being sexist or something.
For example: “Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.” by Albert Camus

They’re using “man” to mean “human.” It’s sort of like how people might say “mankind.”
Recent writers tend to prefer human or other gender neutral terms, but that’s a pretty modern thing. Most historical writers used the ‘man’ form.
