Beskrivelse
Truth before Logic explores the provocative implications of the claim that ""you can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it."" Chesterton counters the sterile, truncated worldview of scientism with an appeal to a deep awareness in the heart and mind without which there would be neither science nor religion. He stirs a buried awareness of the lucid but inarticulate truth that ""romance is the deepest thing in life,"" and counters a myopic materialism by making us more aware of the reality that racks the soul ""with something of which God keeps the secret but which is stronger than sorrow or joy."" Few voices will be more helpful in enabling the contemporary reader to understand science within the full scope of human experience. Chesterton's insights are an antidote to the soul-atrophy that results from scientism and a ballast of sanity in a confidently confused world.
