Truth before Logic

Truth before Logic explores the provocative implications of the claim that "e;you can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it."e; 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 "e;romance is the deepest thing in life,"e; and counters a myopic materialism by making us more aware of the reality that racks the soul "e;with something of which God keeps the secret but which is stronger than sorrow or joy."e; 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.
