The Abolition of Man is a book written by C.S. Lewis in 1943. The book is a critique of the education system in the West and argues that it has failed to teach people about values, morals, and virtues, leading to a society that is becoming increasingly relativistic and subjective. Lewis claims that there are objective moral values that are universal and not subject to human opinion or cultural relativism.
The book is divided into three essays, each of which examines a different aspect of education, morality, and human nature. In the first essay, Lewis argues that modern science has led people to believe that they can control nature, including human nature, which is a dangerous and false belief. In the second essay, Lewis discusses the decline of objective values and the rise of subjectivism, arguing that this has led to the loss of a common moral and cultural foundation. In the third essay, he examines the implications of this loss of objective values and the need for a new foundation based on objective morality.
Overall, The Abolition of Man is a warning about the dangers of denying objective moral values and the need to educate people about timeless virtues and values. The book has been influential in the fields of education, philosophy, and ethics.
