Asimov's introduction to the book perfectly discusses Chesterton's unique style. He is a wonderful advocate of imagination and people. What makes this book so enjoyable to me is that Asimov includes personal diary entries and letters written by Chesterton. Chesterton's awareness of the various aspects of human civilization was amazing. Chesterton also had a keen view on the philosophy of history and natural history. As I read this book, I realized that Chesterton was well versed in the history of Christianity as well as other historical religions. It would be great to see Asimov's overview of whether or not Chesterton was a Bertrand Russell type anti-realist.Īsimov collects Chesterton's published comments about various arguments he has encountered in his career including more than a dozen articles Chesterton wrote, as well as his book on the topic. As such, this book is a wonderful compilation of Chesterton's thoughts. Chesterton, I love how Isaac Asimov explores all aspects of argumentation and popular debate.
