Product Description

2011 Reprint of 1925 Edition. What, if anything, is it that makes the human uniquely human? This, in part, is the question that G.K. Chesterton starts with in this classic exploration of human history. Responding to the evolutionary materialism of his contemporary (and antagonist) H.G. Wells, Chesterton in this work affirms human uniqueness and the unique message of the Christian faith. Writing in a time when social Darwinism was rampant, Chesterton instead argued that the idea that society has been steadily progressing from a state of primitivism and barbarity towards civilization is simply and flatly inaccurate. "Barbarism and civilization were not successive stages in the progress of the world," he affirms, with arguments drawn from the histories of both Egypt and Babylon.

1.0 out of 5 stars Look for a different edition...., Nov 19 2011

This review is from: The Everlasting Man (Paperback)

The review is only concerning the physical copy of the book, not its content.

This book is not formatted as a novel. There are two columns of print on each page, giving it the feel of a school workbook. Overall, if you are looking for an awkwardly large copy of this book with strange formatting, this is the version for you. If not, I suggest looking elsewhere.

*After reading through the book, I found it was FILLED with typos. It was so bad in some areas that the text was rendered unintelligible. Once again, I would suggest looking for a different edition due to the shear carelessness taken when this edition was edited.
