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.

"Men Without Chests" is the first chapter in The Abolition of Man; Lewis focuses on what he views as a dangerous assumption about feelings as opposed to objective value as reflected in educational materials. In this episode we look at Gaius and Titius and The Green Book and discuss Lewis's use of the image of the waterfall as a sort of proxy for the beauty of Natural Law.
