In Heretics, G.K. Chesterton examines the ideas of some of the most influential thinkers of his time, including George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, and Oscar Wilde. He argues that their ideas are not only wrong, but dangerous. He argues that their ideas are based on a shallow understanding of the world and that they are often motivated by a desire to shock and scandalize. He also argues that their ideas are often based on a misunderstanding of Christianity and that they are often used to promote a false sense of progress. In the end, Chesterton argues that the only way to truly progress is to embrace the Christian faith.
