"In this book, I set up an unexpected marriage between the work of G. K. Chesterton and philosophical hermeneutics to answer this question: What can we learn from Chesterton about navigating and participating in the conditions and coordinates of interpretive understanding? Put more succinctly: What, in Chesterton's view, is required for us to perceive things clearly, as they are?"--Preface.
