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.

This week we look at how some of Lewis's predictions in "Men Without Chests" about the results of the loss of objective value were fulfilled in the 20th century by the work of Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault, which has spawned a cultural revolution in academia. We also begin our journey into Chapter 2, "The Way," where Lewis explains the role of the Tao.
