Beskrivelse

Welcome to the second of our mini-series devoted to "Chesterton and Science,"--a big subject, of course, but it is one which is often ignored, possibly because it doesn't seem very Chestertonian. But we agreed in the last conversation about the subject, that this importance should not be overlooked.

Episode 18: “Chesterton and Science"

Welcome to a new episode of our podcast “Speaking about Chesterton.” In today’s episode we will speak about “Chesterton and Science.” It is an unusual subject because we do not often associate Chesterton with science, and because he did not have any formal training or particular expertise on the subject. In his “Autobiography” he wrote: “It is true that I could never be called a scientific character, and even as between the Classical and Modern sides of my old school, I should always have chosen to idle at Greek, than to idle at Chemistry.” These are Chesterton’s own words on why he was not a scientist. It is now agreed that his views on Science are important, not just for Chestertonians like ourselves, but for everyone. This is the first of two episodes about Chesterton and Science.
