Description: The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis C. S. Lewis sets out to persuade his audience of the importance and relevance of universal values such as courage and honor in contemporary society. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In many ways C. S. Lewis predicted the future. "He foresaw the rise of trends were currently experiencing: ethical emotivism, the sometimes unquestioned authority of science, and the increasing use of technology by states to control their populations." -The Gospel Coalition, Joseph A. Kohm Jr. The Abolition of Man discusses why we shouldnt always listen to only reason and cut out our emotions. Lewis argues that reason without emotion there is not a reality. He debunks arguments that the purist form of reason is instinct, that benevolent actions will be found through pursuing science, and that science will be the best moral compass for mankind to follow. Lewis proves that moral absolutes do exist and they are universal throughout all of time. This is a book for C. S. Lewis fans and anyone who wants to better understand traditional moral virtues and how they impact your life. Lewis said, "If nothing is self-evident then nothing can be proved." There must be self-evident truths that can be applied everywhere. The book brings together a series of lectures on education that Lewis delivered over three nights at the University of Durham.

"If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book" - Walter Hooper Details ISBN0060652942 Language English ISBN-10 0060652942 ISBN-13 9780060652944 Media Book Format Paperback Residence ENK Birth 1898 Death 1963 Short Title ABOLITION OF MAN V REV/E DOI 10.1604/9780060652944 Place of Publication Grand Rapids Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2015-04-07 NZ Release Date 2015-04-07 UK Release Date 2015-04-07 Subtitle Readings for Meditation and Reflection Pages 144 Publisher Zondervan Edition Description New edition Imprint Zondervan DEWEY 121.8 Series Number No. 9 Audience General Series Collected Letters of C.S.
