Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London, England, in 1874. He began his education at St Paul's School, and later went on to study art at the Slade School, and literature at University College in London. Chesterton wrote a great deal of poetry, as well as works of social and literary criticism. mehr anzeigen Among his most notable books are The Man Who Was Thursday, a metaphysical thriller, and The Everlasting Man, a history of humankind's spiritual progress. After Chesterton converted to Catholicism in 1922, he wrote mainly on religious topics. Chesterton is most known for creating the famous priest-detective character Father Brown, who first appeared in "The Innocence of Father Brown." Chesterton died in 1936 at the age of 62.

- G K Chesterton has been described as one of the most unjustly neglected writers of our time. Born in 1874 -when Kensington still formed part of Middlesex-, he became a journalist and later began writing books and pamphlets. His work includes novels, literary and social criticism, political papers and spiritual essays in a style characterised by enormous wit, paradox, humility and wonder. He converted to Catholicism in 1922 and he explores the nature of spirituality in many of his books and essays, including the mighty Orthodoxy.Chesterton created the fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and wrote on apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognised the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian, and came to identify this position more and more with Catholicism, eventually converting to Catholicism from High Church Anglicanism. Biographers have identified him as a successor to such Victorian authors as Matthew Arnold, Thomas Carlyle, Cardinal John Henry Newman, and John Ruskin. On his contributions, T. S. Eliot wrote,
He was importantly and consistently on the side of the angels. Behind the Johnsonian fancy-dress, so reassuring to the British public, he concealed the most serious and revolutionary designs—concealing them by exposure ... Chesterton's social and economic ideas...were fundamentally Christian and Catholic. He did more, I think, than any man of his time—and was able to do more than anyone else, because of his particular background, development and abilities as a public performer—to maintain the existence of the important minority in the modern world. He leaves behind a permanent claim upon our loyalty, to see that the work that he did in his time is continued in ours.

Er traute dem kleinem Mann mehr Verstand zu als den spitzfindigen Matadoren der Moderne. Matthias Mattusek charakterisiert diesen "zartbesaiteten Bullen" im Vorwort ebenso gekonnt wie liebevoll. Chesterton trat zur katholischen Kirche über und wurde einer ihrer glühendsten Verteidiger: 'Ich war auf der Suche nach einer Ketzerei, die zu mir passte - und fand die Orthodoxie.'
Ob Faschismus oder Kommunismus, ihre gottfernen Beglückungssysteme wurden gekoppelt an die grenzenlosen Machbarkeitssysteme. Chesterton misstraute diesem Konglomerat aus Prinzip und viele seiner Aussagen sind auch heute noch direkt anzuwenden.
Ich versuche die Übertragung seines Essays 'Der gewöhnliche Sterbliche' ins Heute:
Das Schlimmste ist nur, dass bisher jede intellektuelle Aristokratie so unintelligent gewesen ist. Fehler wurden immer nur von hochgestochenen Theoretikern begangen, die vermeintlich wissen, dass sie alles wissen.
Die Tyrannei der Lesekundigen über die Analphabeten geht aktuell zu Ende. Die Theorie von Europa ist zu Ende, die des Multikulti, des Kulturrelativismus.
Heute herrschen Nützlichkeitsfanatiker, die puritanische Selbstsucht des Adam Smith, der allen predigte nur eigennützig zu sein, das Freihandeln pries und alles, was frei machte, grenzenlos und verbrüdernd. 'Der gewöhnlich Sterbliche fand bald heraus, was es mit diesem Glück auf sich hatte und dass er in Elendsquartieren saß und das Elend nicht abzusehen war.'
Wankelmütige Intellektuelle stürzen sich auf die neuen Theorien, vom Sozialismus bis zum Multikulti drehen sie alle Runden weit weg von den wirklichen Bedürfnissen des Menschen. Hauptsache, es klingt gut und Außenstehende Analphabeten begreifen nichts. Dabei werden sie von kapitalistischen Nutznießern festumschlungen, während ihnen religiöse Fanatiker in die Suppe spucken.
Von 9 Essays in diesem Buch behandelt der 9. jene einzige Predigt aus dem Titel, die er gegen den Stolz halten würde. Chesterton ist davon überzeugt, dass alles Böse mit dem Hochmut anfängt. Seine Begründung und Ableitungen dazu: zeitlos richtig. Jesus stellte sich über niemand, er sagte nicht von sich selbst, Teil der besten Gemeinschaft zu sein, nein, er war Teil einer Gemeinschaft, die nächstenliebend und barmherzig zu anderen war - und zwar vorbehaltlos.
Heute aktueller denn je: unbedingt lesenswert.… (mehr)
