Is the Cosmos a Prison?

This week’s discussion of Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton…

Here are the discussion questions covering pages 66–70:

Which modern philosopher was “an imperialist of the lowest type”?
Why should a man surrender his dignity to the solar system any more than to a whale?
Does mere size prove that man is not the image of God?
How might the physical cosmos be likened to a prison?
A Great Might-Have-Been or a Great Might-Not-Have-Been: Which is the greater?
Does the world explain itself?
Must “meaning have some one to mean it”?
How should we thank God for beer and Burgundy?

Next week, we will continue to discuss pages 71–74.
