Produced by Andrea Ball, Eric Eldred, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Reflections and Comments 1865-1895" by Edwin Lawrence Godkin is a collection of essays and reflections written in the late 19th century. This work delves into a variety of social, political, and moral issues of the time, reflecting Godkin's insights on topics such as war, peace, culture, and the state of society. Through his critical lens, Godkin explores the complexities of human behavior and the consequences of societal norms. The opening of the text discusses the nature of war and the public's growing desire for peace amid its horrors, spurred by the increasing visibility of war through media and transportation advancements. Godkin argues that, while the yearning for peace is palpable, the approach taken by advocates often fails to resonate with those directly involved in conflict, leading to a divergence in perception between combatants and peacekeepers. This introductory reflection sets the stage for Godkin's broader commentary on culture, morality, and the pressing issues facing society during this transformative period. It effectively establishes the tone and scope of the discussions that will unfold throughout the collection.
