Originally given as lectures to academic philosophers in 1943, "The Abolition of Man" was considered by Lewis to be one of his most important works. His analysis of the fallout that would occur with the abandonment of Objective Value ( the idea that Truth, Beauty, and Goodness are real and definable, rather than determined by individual taste or opinion) is incisive and prophetic.

Episode 7
Following a review of Lewis's argument in the first two chapters, this week we delved into the eponymous third chapter, where Lewis expounds how what we call Man’s power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over others with Nature as its instrument. "Human nature will be the last part of Nature to surrender to Man. The battle will indeed be won--but who precisely will have won it? For the power of Man to make himself what he pleases means…the power of some men to make other men what they please.”

Episode 6
This week we look at how some of Lewis's predictions in "Men Without Chests" about the results of the loss of objective value were fulfilled in the 20th century by the work of Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault, which has spawned a cultural revolution in academia. We also begin our journey into Chapter 2, "The Way," where Lewis explains the role of the Tao.

Episode 5
One of the beauties of this book is the way that Lewis marshals evidence for his argument from sources as diverse as Shelley's Aeolian harp to Plato's Republic. In this episode, we unpack some of that imagery and also take a look through a parallel lens at the way that Lewis expresses this same argument in the first section of Mere Christianity, "Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe."
