Who is G.K. Chesterton?

I've always felt uncomfortable with the discussions I've had with people about Chesterton because I find that they use the _fact_ that he attacked scientific determinism and moral relativism as _proof_ that they are on the right side. He was very eloquent and brilliant, but so much of his writing is used by well-read apologists to confirm their biases instead of having the arguments on their own.
Agreed, and I think it's especially uncomfortable because that sort of reasoning is exactly the sort of thing Chesterton would've hated.

Chesterton may have been a great guy, but the person who wrote that article dearly needs an editor and to learn how to get to the point.
Is the entire website like that?

The English computer scientist Martin Ward has a Chesterton site, if you'd care to read more: http://www.tech.dmu.ac.uk/~mward/gkc/index.html
