Why read it?
1 author picked Orthodoxy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Orthodoxy is Chestertonās 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 Chestertonās best writing.
It is rife with wit and paradox, and he turns many preconceptions on their head. The result is a lively exposition of a worldview full of romance and gratitude. The book is a remedy to modern nihilism but never preachy.
