In uThe Doctor's Dilemma" there is a saucy reference to an unprofessional heretic who has views on art, science, morals and religion. Old Sir Patrick Cullen shocks the heretic's disciple by not even recognizing the name. ~(Bernard Shaw?" he ponders, "I never heard of him. He's a 11ethodist preacher, I suppose." Louis is horrified. "No, no. He's the most advanced man now living: he isn't anything." The old doctor is not set back an inch. These uadvanced~' men who impress the young by employing the accumulations of genius-he knows them. "I assure yOll, young man," he in-· fonns Louis, Hmy father learnt the doctdne of deliverance from sin from John Ves1cy's own lips before you or r.-1r. Shaw were born." I t is a pleasant thing to claim that the man you admire is "advanced" and to believe serenely that you are progressive along wHh him. It is also a convenient thing to employ such question-begging phrases as heterodox, radical, free-thinker, anarchist.

About the Author:
Samuel Butler (1835-1902) is best known for his utopian satire “Erewhon”, his posthumous novel “The Way of All Flesh”, and his translations of Homer. His family background made a career in the Church inevitable, but, while serving a low-income parish in London, he began to question his faith. He lived in New Zealand for five years, and later in life spent time in Italy.
