Heretics

Heretics, published in 1905, is a collection of essays by G. K. Chesterton in which he critiques prominent thinkers and cultural figures of his time, including H. G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw. Chesterton defends tradition, faith, and individuality against what he sees as the shallow modernist trends of moral relativism and materialism. With his trademark wit, paradoxes, and sharp prose, Chesterton makes a spirited case for the importance of orthodoxy and the limits of progressive ideology.
