"The Philosophy of Elbert Hubbard" by Elbert Hubbard is a philosophical essay written in the early 20th century. It expounds on various ideas central to American thought, with a focus on concepts like freedom, responsibility, economics, and the nature of organized religion. Hubbard's work is an exploration of individualism and societal norms, aiming to challenge traditional beliefs and to promote a philosophy rooted in personal empowerment and rational thought. The opening of the text establishes Hubbard's belief in the transformative power of work and personal agency, asserting that individuals are responsible for their own well-being and that negative influences stem primarily from within. He critiques societal norms surrounding religion and marriage, emphasizing the need for freedom of choice and the rejection of dogma.
