> Chesterton described Aquinas as looking quite like Chesterton.
I was unaware that Chesterton met Aquinas! He must have been quite old at that point.
I can't imagine anything that Chesterton could add to this conversation. He's reading the same texts the rest of us are. TBH this pretty much sums up his entire career.
- michaelsbradley 2y agoTastes differ, certainly. Have you read any of Chesterton’s novels, e.g. The Man Who Was Thursday?
- taurknaut 2y agoYes, he's an amazing writer regardless of his target. I primarily think of his christian apologetic work, though, hence why I was teasing his obsession with western (and particularly christian) text. I love Chesterton. I was just ribbing him. It's not terribly difficult.
