The Abolition of Man is a 1943 book by C. S. Lewis. It is subtitled "Reflections on education with special reference to the teaching of English in the upper forms of schools," and uses that as a starting point for a defense of objective value and natural law, and a warning of the consequences of doing away with or "debunking" those things. It defends science as something worth pursuing but criticizes using it to debunk values - the value of science itself being among them - or defining it to exclude such values.

Truth Be Told
A great book regarding the status of American public education, at all levels. Written 75 years ago. The brainwashing and dumbing down has been going on a long time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Ahead of its time.
A must read for any contemplative Christian, skeptic or even non-Christian who is concerned about education. One of my favorites of CS Lewis, a man surely ahead of his time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

What he saw about today in 1930's
