Chesterton,
A Seer of Science
Stanley L. Jaki
Jaki illuminates Chesterton's strong
antagonism toward scientism, his critique of the Darwinist worldview, his
reflections on the nature and methods of science, and his feelings on the
central role in philosophy of the concept of the universe. These discussions
all provide significant new insights into the mind of a writer whose thoughts
on modern science sound remarkably contemporary.
"An excellent study that offers a
new perspective on Chesterton." -- the Reverand Ian Boyd, C.S.B., editor,
Chesterton Review.
"Should warm the heart of anyone
who thinks it good to see humbug -- even under the guise of science --
exposed." -- Frederic Crosson, editor, Science and Contemporary Society.
