Lewis’ argument for Traditional Values (I.e. objective moralism).

Easily enjoyable and easily disagreeable.

This book is wise beyond the current understanding of my 18 year old self, which I am happy about as it gives me reason to befriend it again and again. But Why oh why did I neglected reading this book for so long? 'Twas a short and almost sweet one indeed

I really wish I had this my junior year when I conformed to writing an essay for school critiquing an Ayn Rand quote concerning subjective and objective paradigms of the world. And since then have been pained (or pleasured) to be plagued with a never ending frustration and curiosity as to how to explain and understand these view points. It would have made my life much easier could I have read the words that my heart wanted to say but that my brain lacked ability to articulate. But thanks to my dude C.S. Lewis, I just did.

I understand rather clearly now what is happening: the abolition of man by man.

A great work of philosophy.

This book really gets you thinking. While I can't claim to have understood everything in this book, it is clear that Lewis saw where the human race was heading and warned against it. We may very well be living among the abolition of man. Progress for the sake of progress and furthering science to a point of stripping man of his values and virtue. Really made me think about how my brain has been programmed to view things as I do and if there is basis in those views.
