Editorials from the Hearst Newspapers
"Editorials from the Hearst Newspapers" by Arthur Brisbane is a collection of opinion pieces written in the early 20th century. The book offers insights into a wide range of topics, reflecting on human nature, societal issues, philosophical inquiries, and moral dilemmas that resonate with the zeitgeist of the era, often presenting provocative questions about the human experience and society's progress. The opening of the collection introduces several thought-provoking editorials, starting with "Why Are All Men Gamblers?" which engages the reader in a discussion about the inherent gambling instinct present in humans throughout history and its implications. Brisbane juxtaposes the universal nature of gambling with deeper existential questions about human motivations, societal constructs, and moral responsibility. He further delves into various subjects such as the existence of God, the character of humanity, and the impact of societal roles on individual behavior, all while emphasizing the need for education, moral advancement, and thoughtful consideration of one's beliefs and actions. Through vivid anecdotes and philosophical musings, the author sets the tone for a thought-provoking exploration of life as seen through his editorial lens.
