Why read it?
1 author picked Orthodoxy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Orthodoxy is Chesterton’s answer to a critic who claimed it was all very well for G.K. to criticize the philosophy of others, but he had yet to state his own philosophy. The response, Orthodoxy, contains some of Chesterton’s best writing.
