Din ve Maneviyat

Chesterton’s No-Holds-Barred Critique of Man-Centered Philosophy! “We direly need another Chesterton today. … In a time when culture and faith have drifted even further apart, we could use his brilliance, his entertaining style, and above all his generous and joyful spirit.” author Philip Yancey. The companion to G.K. Chesterton’s classic Christian book, Orthodoxy. What if abook published in 1905 held the key to understanding today’s debates about God, atheism, relativism and philosophy? Are you confused (and perhaps challenged) by the philosophical and religious debates of our time? Do you need help knowing how to discuss religion and philosophy with your nextdoor neighbor? Do you want to better understand the world’s beliefs through the wit and wisdom of one of Christianity’s greatest writers? G.K. Chesterton’s Heretics is for anyone who wants to broaden their understanding of philosophy while staying grounded in God’s Word.   G.K. Chesterton wrote Heretics in the early 1900s to address what he considered the heresies of his day, but it soon was overshadowed by his follow-up classic book, Orthodoxy (1908). Chesterton, though, considered the two books companion pieces. Heretics is as relevant today as it was a century ago. In Heretics, Chesterton: Confronts the heresies of his day with his trademark no-holding-back wit: “In former days the heretic was proud of not being a heretic,” he writes, asserting that “heresy” was no longer taboo. “All this can mean one thing, and one thing only. It means that people care less for whether they are philosophically right. For obviously a man ought to confess himself crazy before he confesses himself heretical.” Critiques, by name, the heretics of his day. Among them: H.G. Wells, Bernard Shaw, and Lowes Dickinson. Wells believed “that there are no secure and reliable ideas upon which we can rest.” Shaw taught that the “golden rule is that there is no golden rule.” Dickinson was a “provocative” supporter of paganism. Chesterton wrote, “The most practical and important thing about a man is still his view of the universe.” Explains his belief in Christianity, in typical Chesterton style. “All the empires and the kingdoms [of the world] have failed, because … they were founded by strong men and upon strong men. But this one thing, the historic Christian Church, was founded on a weak man, and for that reason it is indestructible. For no chain is stronger than its weakest link.” Chesterton refutes relativism, rationalism, paganism and other man-centered philosophies that were popular during his day -- philosophies that may be even more trendy and prominent in our modern world.
