A Defense of Universal Values
In The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis sets out to persuade his audience of the importance and relevance of universal values such as courage and honor in contemporary society. Both astonishing and prophetic, this book is one of the most debated of Lewis’s extraordinary works. National Review chose it as number seven on their “100 Best Non Fiction Books of the Twentieth Century.”
“A Real Triumph.” – Owen Barfield
“I read Lewis for comfort and pleasure many years ago, and a glance into the books revives my old admiration.” – John Updike
“If wit and wisdom, style and scholarship are requisites to passage through the pearly gates, Mr. Lewis will be among the angels.” – The New Yorker
“C.S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way.” – New York Times Book Review
“Lewis, perhaps more than any other twentieth-century writer, forced those who listened to him and read his works to come to terms with their own philosophical presuppositions.” – Los Angeles Times
