Summary: "The Philistine: A Periodical of Protest (Vol. II, No. 3, February 1896)" by Elbert Hubbard is a literary magazine published during the late 19th century, specifically in a time characterized by a cultural and social questioning of established norms. This periodical aims to challenge conventional thought and celebrates individuality in art and expression. Through a collection of essays, poems, and articles, it embodies a spirit of protest against mediocrity and advocates for personal freedom in creative endeavors. The content of this issue features a variety of writings that exemplify its themes. A notable contribution is Hubbard's own essay "Why I am a Philistine," in which he defends the term "Philistine" as a badge of honor for those who think independently and favor artistic individuality over rigid conformism. The magazine also includes poetry like "Victory," reflecting on the gravitas of conflict, along with fables that carry deeper moral lessons. Each piece is infused with humor and insights into the human condition, revealing Hubbard's belief in the importance of free thought and genuine expression. Overall, "The Philistine" is both a reflection of its time and a call to embrace authenticity in art and life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
