"Chesterton, Seer of Science"

Jaki, Stanley. Chesterton, Seer of Science. Stanley Jaki's work
in the history and philosophy of science often concerns issues of
origins such as: relations of science and religion, the sufficiency
of naturalism, or the importance of notions of creation for Western
science. His newest book Chesterton, Seer of Science (Urbana,
University of Illinois Press, 1986, 164 pgs) is based on lectures
given at Notre Dame in April 1983 and continues his work with some
of these concerns. G. K. Chesterton was an early and penetrating
critic of "scientism"--the philosophical position that all reliable
knowledge is scientific--and evolution. This book is noteworthy
for its humor and Jaki's unmistakable delight in Chesterton's wit
and insight.
