Though not always recognized as such, G. K. Chesterton was a profound and original philosopher. Each of the essays in this book puts G. K. Chesterton into conversation with some well-known philosopher in order to stimulate the conversation about Chestertonian philosophy that has taken place in fits and starts since Chesterton’s day.
With essays by Landon Loftin, Peter Kreeft, Louis Markos, Dale Ahlquist, Kevin Belmonte, Duncan Reyburn, Ted Janiszewski, Philip Irving Mitchell, Julian Ahlquist, Wojciech Zaluski, David Deavel, Edward Stengel, and Joe Grabowski
