Apostle of Common Sense
An interesting article at The Rake on G. K. Chesterton (Hat-tip: Reason). It has some flaws, e.g., the claim that Chesterton's work contains "dismissals of science and technical progress," a claim that is sometimes made but never properly defended. In fact, such a claim requires taking Chesterton's statements out of context - a natural temptation with a quotable writer like Chesterton, but inexcusable nonetheless.
