Truth before Logic explores the provocative implications of the claim that """"you can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it."""" Chesterton counters the sterile, truncated worldview of scientism with an appeal to a deep awareness in the heart and mind without which there would be neither science nor religion. He stirs a buried awareness of the lucid but inarticulate truth that """"romance is the deepest thing in life,"""" and counters a myopic materialism by making us more aware of the reality that racks the soul """"with something of which God keeps the secret but which is stronger than sorrow or joy."""" Few voices will be more helpful in enabling the contemporary reader to understand science within the full scope of human experience. Chesterton's insights are an antidote to the soul-atrophy that results from scientism and a ballast of sanity in a confidently confused world.

Reviews for Truth before Logic

""This slim volume is chock full of striking insights that are vitally relevant to contemporary times. Drawing especially on the work of G. K. Chesterton, Mike Mitchell beautifully exposes the radical deficiency of what he calls our 'myopically scientific worldview' and calls us to recognize the truth that is accessible to us long before formal logic ever enters our thoughts. The overall message is one our culture urgently needs to recover."" --Jerry L. Walls, professor of philosophy, Houston Christian University ""In this lively and elegantly argued book, Mike Mitchell battles the scientistic superstition that still bewitches so many people in our world today. He shows us a much richer, saner vision of reality. Here, with great clarity and imaginative insight, is a very welcome adventure for thought."" --Duncan Reyburn, author of Seeing Things as They Are: G. K. Chesterton and the Drama of Meaning
