About C. S. Lewis
British scholar of medieval literature and Christian apologist (1898–1963), longtime Oxford and Cambridge professor. The Abolition of Man (1943) is his most philosophical work: a defence of objective value (which he calls the 'Tao') against a relativism that, by reducing values to mere feeling, ultimately hands humanity over to those who would condition and control it. A compact, influential argument in moral philosophy and the critique of technocratic modernity.
