Summary

In "The Everlasting Man," G. K. Chesterton presents a compelling narrative that weaves together philosophy, theology, and history to explore the essence of humanity and the nature of divinity. Written in a prose style that is both engaging and witty, Chesterton contrasts the contributions of various civilizations with the unique emergence of Christianity. His intricate argumentation challenges prevailing perceptions by advocating for the significance of the historical Christ as the culmination of humanity's spiritual quest, all set against the backdrop of Enlightenment skepticism and modern materialism. Through vivid imagery and provocative insights, Chesterton crafts a portrait of man as a creature both whimsical and divine, urging readers to reconsider their understanding of history's trajectory. G. K. Chesterton, a prolific writer and thinker, was deeply fascinated by the intersections of faith and reason, which shaped his worldview and informed his writings. His experiences as a journalist and a convert to Christianity enriched his perspective, allowing him to approach theological questions with both critical depth and imaginative breadth. This exploration of faith resonates with readers who find themselves immersed in an increasingly rationalistic society, as Chesterton sought to illuminate the paradoxes and mysteries of the human experience. Recommended for those interested in philosophy, theology, or the history of ideas, "The Everlasting Man" is a profound contemplation that prompts readers to question their own beliefs and understandings. Chesterton'Äôs masterful synthesis of thought and playful rhetoric makes this work not just an academic endeavor but also an engaging read for anyone contemplating the meaning of humanity in the modern age.

    Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence. Thus, if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existence—rather than having children without even thinking about whether they should—they presume that they do them no harm. Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions. David Benatar argues that coming into existence is always a serious harm. Those who never exist cannot be deprived. However, by coming into existence one does suffer quite serious harms that could not have befallen one had one not come into existence. Drawing on the relevant psychological literature, the author shows that there are a number of well-documented features of human psychology that explain why people systematically overestimate the quality of their lives and why they are thus resistant to the suggestion that they were seriously harmed by being brought into existence. The author then argues for the "anti-natal" view—that it is always wrong to have children—and he shows that combining the anti-natal view with common pro-choice views about fetal moral status yield a "pro-death" view about abortion. Although counter-intuitive for many, that implication is defended, not least by showing that it solves many conundrums of moral theory about population.

    Between Square Buttes is 35 short pieces that chronicle the American West over the last 50 years.  It is bird hunting, fly fishing, dog breeding, dog trialing, decline of habitat, loss of access, but mostly it is the story of the greatness that still exists in America today.  It started as a tribute to the last best place, Montana.  But in the end, it may be the beginning of the end of the last best place.  Told anecdotally, it brings to life the rivers, the plains, and the dogs that hunt these vast stretches of prairie.  And finally, it tells of the changes in land ownership in the West as more and more of it is being eaten up by developers and new landowners from all over the world who want a piece of it before it all goes away.  Revel in the rare beauty and incredible richness through the eyes and understanding of a man who has been there and done that.  Between Square Buttes will make you happy, make you sad, lift your spirit and break your heart as you follow the life of a serious fly fisherman and bird hunter who hunted and fished the best when it was the best and left the rest behind in search of more rivers, and newer land to hunt.
