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.

The Abolition of Man has been named by the National Review as one of the ten most important books of the 20th century, and Lewis expressed the same tenets fictionally in That Hideous Strength. In this episode, we will explore how C.S. Lewis came to write these two books, what was the context at the time, and how the two books are connected. In this series. we will seek to unpack the meaning of Lewis’s works, explore their remarkable relevance for today, and consider how we can respond with practices of Hope and Wisdom rooted in the Scriptures.
