Lewis, C. S., author

Interbooks, 2022

113 pages ; 23 cm.

In "Abolition of Man," C.S. Lewis delivers a thought-provoking critique of modern education and its implications for morality and humanity. Drawing on his deep understanding of philosophy, literature, and theology, Lewis presents a compelling argument against the reduction of human values to mere subjective preferences. Through a series of incisive essays, Lewis explores the consequences of a worldview that denies the existence of objective moral truths and seeks to replace them with arbitrary standards of individual preference. He warns of the dangers of moral relativism and the erosion of essential human qualities such as virtue, courage, and compassion. With clarity and precision, Lewis argues for the importance of objective values rooted in the natural law and the enduring wisdom of the ages. He challenges readers to confront the implications of a world devoid of moral absolutes and to recognize the inherent dignity and worth of every human being. As relevant today as when it was first published, "Abolition of Man" continues to spark meaningful discussions about the nature of morality, the role of education, and the preservation of human values in an increasingly secular and relativistic society. Engaging, insightful, and profoundly relevant, this timeless classic is essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of humanity and the preservation of moral truth in a world adrift.
