Heretics

G. K. Chesterton was an English writer, journalist, philosopher, poet and lay theologian. He delighted in standing conventional wisdom on its head in order to expose what he considered to be the lack of substance in the "vague modern." In Heretics , he touches on a range of topics, including social Darwinism, eugenics, nihilism and atheism, while enumerating the flaws he finds in the work of his intellectual contemporaries such as Rudyard Kipling , Friedrich Nietzsche , George Bernard Shaw , and H. G. Wells . G. K. Chesterton (died 1936) was a major literary figure of the early 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. The nonfiction literature of previous centuries offers invaluable windows into the minds and preoccupations of earlier ages. Heretics combines the personal and the universal in ways that continue to resonate with contemporary readers seeking to understand both history and human nature.
