Reading this book as part of a Hillsdale College class. I love it so much I am doing a deep dive on it. I read it, then reread it and underlined and now I am taking notes 📝

It’s such a deep read!

The Abolition of Man is indeed brilliant. Very important, still very, very topical, and remarkably easy to read.

"A Christian Manifesto" by Francis Schaeffer is also considered by some truthfully reliable sources to be very historically insightful.

The Abolition of Man is a staple of our Comparative Religions/Philosophy class since 2001. I agree w/ your assessment. It is the central most important work of 20th c. philosophy, hands down. It’s predictions are sadly coming true, however, high school seniors can understand and embrace this argument, thereby turning the relativistic tide toward an objective moral reality. There logically must be accessible objective truth for any value judgment to be rational.

Thank you for the review I now need to read it.

The abolition of man is a response to 'The Control of Language' also 'The great divorce' was a response to William Blake's poetry collection The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. My question is are there any other Lewis' books that were responses to other books? I just finished Screwtape and am starting the AoM. TIA.

Not that I know of. That’s a great question. Many of his books aren’t even books. They’re letters, sermons, radio broadcasts etc.

If you can get your hands on a copy... his "Essay Collection : Literature, Philosophy and Short Stories" is pretty darn good stuff... I haven't read it in years, but I got a hardback back in the day. As I recall, there were many writings on what "position" Christians would be best to take on various topics. One paper I recall he tried to convince English Christian Pacifist that not doing anything to stop Hitler is a bad idea, stuff like that.

Im speaking entirely on opinion - but in ephesians st paul says to wear the breastlate of rightouesness. I believe cs lewis thought of this when he said men with out chests.

The concept that current society would read, much less understand, this book is sadly flawed. I wish that was not the case but there is no question it is. Our culture has embraced relativism as a religion and Old Scratch chortles with glee

While it is sadly true, that many people blindly follow the relativistic world view, I do have hope that some would come to their senses when given the opportunity.
