(Gilbert Keith) Orthodoxy Companion to Heretics There is an improved edition of this title, eBook #16769 This etext was proofread by Martin Ward and compared against a separate copy scanned by Mike Perry "Orthodoxy" by G. K. Chesterton is a philosophical exploration written in the late 19th century. In this work, Chesterton responds to critiques of his earlier writings, particularly "Heretics," by presenting his own affirmative philosophy centered on Christian orthodoxy. The text navigates through personal and intellectual reflections to illustrate how he arrived at his beliefs, engaging with themes of tradition, imagination, and the need for a balance between the familiar and the foreign. The beginning of "Orthodoxy" sets the stage for Chesterton's journey of self-discovery as he contemplates his philosophical position. He recounts the influence of prior critics and emphasizes the importance of providing an explanation for his faith. He uses a vivid metaphor of a man discovering England, implying that his philosophical journey mirrors a realization of pre-existing truths. Chesterton argues against the modern tendency to deny fundamental human experiences, such as the existence of sin, while asserting the need for a romantic view of the world that combines wonder with a sense of belonging. This opening section establishes a personal narrative intertwined with broader philosophical discussions, ultimately serving as an invitation to readers to reflect on their beliefs.
