The Abolition of Man

By C.S. Lewis

A Timeless Exploration of Moral Truth

In The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis challenges the modern trend of ethical emotivism—the idea that reason alone, devoid of emotion, can define reality. Based on a series of lectures at the University of Durham, Lewis argues that without the guiding force of universal moral truths and human emotion, society loses its ability to discern right from wrong.

Key Themes

• The importance of balancing reason with emotion.
• Defense of universal moral absolutes.
• A critique of ethical emotivism and modern moral relativism.
• An exploration of timeless moral truths through engaging lecture-based insights.

Notable Quote

"If nothing is self-evident then nothing can be proved." – C.S. Lewis
