Orthodoxy is a philosophical and theological treatise written by the renowned British author, G.K. Chesterton. First published in 1908, the book is a defense of traditional Christian beliefs and an exploration of the nature of faith and reason. Chesterton argues that Christianity is not a set of rules or doctrines to be followed blindly, but a way of seeing the world that is grounded in a deep understanding of human nature and the divine. He uses his trademark wit and humor to challenge the prevailing ideas of his time, and to offer a fresh perspective on the meaning of life and the role of religion in society. The book is divided into nine chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of Chesterton's philosophy. These include his views on the importance of tradition, the role of paradox in faith, and the relationship between reason and mysticism. Throughout the book, Chesterton draws on a wide range of literary and philosophical sources, including the works of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and William Blake. Orthodoxy is a classic work of Christian apologetics and a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of faith and reason.The real trouble with this world of ours is not that it is an unreasonable world, nor even that it is a reasonable one. The commonest kind of trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not quite. Life is not an illogicality; yet it is a trap for logicians. It looks just a little more mathematical and regular than it is; its exactitude is obvious, but its inexactitude is hidden; its wildness lies in wait.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
