Clive Staples Lewis (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963), commonly referred to as C. S. Lewis and known to his friends and family as J ack, was an Irish-born British novelist, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian and Christian apologist. He is also known for his fiction, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Space Trilogy.
Lewis's works have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold millions of copies over the years. The books that make up The Chronicles of Narnia have sold the most and have been popularised on stage, in TV, in radio, and in cinema.
C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man purports to be a book specifically about public education, but its central concerns are broadly political, religious, and philosophical. In the best of the book's three essays, "Men Without Chests," Lewis trains his laser-sharp wit on a mid- century English high school text, considering the ramifications of teaching British students to believe in idle relativism, and to reject "the doctrine of objective value, the belief that certain attitudes are really true, and others really false, to the kind of thing the universe is and the kinds of things we are." Lewis calls this doctrine the "Tao," and he spends much of the book explaining why society needs a sense of objective values. The Abolition of Man speaks with astonishing freshness to contemporary debates about morality; and even if Lewis seems a bit too cranky and privileged for his arguments to be swallowed whole, at least his articulation of values seems less ego-driven, and therefore is more useful, than that of current writers such as Bill Bennett and James Dobson.

“不要理會有人說,人就要想人的事,有死的存在就要想有死的存在的事。應當努力追求不朽的東西,過一種與我們身上最好的部分相適應的生活。因為這個部分雖然很小,它的能力與榮耀卻遠超過身體的其他部分。”——亞裏士多德《尼各馬可倫理學》 亞裏士多德這段話,讀來讓人激動...
評分尼采說“上帝死瞭”,卻在心裏相信上帝的存在。沒有信仰的時代,人們宣稱上帝死瞭,隨之而來的價值真空,讓人精神迷亂和痛苦。我們以為改造瞭時代,改變瞭自然,卻為瞭權力把自己交給瞭魔鬼。 除瞭思考上帝,尼采也最早發現瞭“發脆弱性”,這個詞用來形容狄俄尼索...

邏輯、論辯、修辭的典範,劉易斯一代之後看不到這樣的寫作瞭。對“道”的藉用,有些想象而以為然,不大切實。
評分Conservatives love this book. It's against cultural relativism so of course they love it. But it should have been written in a more appealing way.
評分重讀。We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.
評分Notice that the book was published in 1943 and contains curious quotation of Confucius as well as Taoist epithets. Yet should Tao was truly as potent as was depicted, the abolition of man or the ideology at its back would not flourish in its birthplace. Ambitious albeit inadequate prophecy.
評分:無
