C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

By having rejected the idea of humanity’s moral nature, Lewis argued that modern educators must inevitably go on to do bad things to people, even while dismissing the category of evil.
The chief of what “the Conditioners” will do is to appeal to “nature” to use it to reduce mankind from persons bearing the image of God to experimental objects.
Man’s conquest of nature through technology has actually resulted in nature’s conquest of man. And thus we live in a posthumanist age.

You're really dialing in these arguments. Will you be teaching literary theory this semester?

“the model of heroism is an orphan “ So true I guess they are socially magical beings, just like twins

Question: How does one go about teaching themselves “moral law” via books? If you can, may you please provide some books to read, for adults and children alike? Thanks

[@LitProf]

The moral law is recognized by all in discerning right and wrong. Propaganda is necessary to suppress it. What needs to be taught by books is the Christian law of love.

@@LitProf So moral law is basically “conscious” - that voice that directs you to do or to not do something. That would make sense. Thanks
