Synopsis

In Heretics, Gilbert K. Chesterton rails against what he sees as wrong with society. He points out how society has gone astray and how life and spiritually could be brought back into focus. It is foolish, generally speaking, for a philosopher to set fire to another philosopher in Smithfield Market because they do not agree in their theory of the universe. That was done very frequently in the last decadence of the Middle Ages, and it failed altogether in its object. But there is one thing that is infinitely more absurd and unpractical than burning a man for his philosophy. This is the habit of saying that his philosophy does not matter, and this is done universally in the twentieth century, in the decadence of the great revolutionary period.- G. K. Chesterton

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English novelist, essayist, poet, journalist, critic, and Christian apologist celebrated for his wit, paradoxes, and extraordinary intellectual range. He wrote extensively about religion, politics, literature, philosophy, art, and society, frequently challenging accepted ideas by turning familiar arguments inside out.His best-known works include Heretics, Orthodoxy, The Everlasting Man, The Man Who Was Thursday, and the Father Brown detective stories. Chesterton's writing combines serious intellectual argument with humor, imagination, and a persistent defense of wonder, human dignity, and the ordinary world.
