Viac o knihe

Focusing on a range of prominent intellectuals, G. K. Chesterton's collection of essays critiques various philosophical and cultural movements of his time. Engaging with figures like Joseph McCabe, George Bernard Shaw, and Friedrich Nietzsche, he tackles themes such as nihilism, humanism, and utilitarianism. His arguments span diverse subjects, including cosmology and anthropology, while addressing the perceived arrogance of the European intelligentsia and the dangers of ideologies like Social Darwinism and eugenics, making these discussions relevant to contemporary readers.
