C.S. Lewis’s Classic Work that Is Number 7 on National Review’s List of “100 Best Nonfiction Books of the Twentieth Century”

"The Abolition of Man" is a philosophical work written by C. S. Lewis in 1943. In this book, Lewis critiques the idea of moral subjectivism and the consequences of a society that denies objective values. He argues that the rejection of universal moral principles and the elevation of personal preferences will lead to the destruction of human nature and the loss of a common moral framework. Lewis begins by discussing the implications of a textbook titled "The Green Book," which promotes relativism and denies the existence of objective values. He warns that such an approach will result in the elimination of human virtues and the reduction of humanity to mere objects manipulated by those in power. He emphasizes the importance of the "Tao," a term he uses to describe the universal moral law that transcends cultures and religions. Lewis argues that without this shared moral foundation, society becomes susceptible to manipulation and tyranny. "The Abolition of Man" is a thought-provoking critique of relativism and an appeal for the preservation of objective moral values. It challenges readers to recognize the dangers of subjectivism and to embrace a universal moral framework that fosters the development of true human virtues.
