I haven't read "The Abolition of Man". I am working my way through my local library's collection. The local library being at 280 Pitt Street, Sydney. The Sydney Mechanics School of Arts, which is another interesting institution. I will definitely make an effort to read it, but I want to read his "The Screwtape Letters" first.
It is interesting to note that a contemporary of his was J.R.R.Tolkien of "Lord of the Rings" fame. He and many others met over a pint or five and discussed literature for some years. This sounds a good exercise and one that is hard to find today I think.
C.S.Lewis held strong views on many subjects and had the best interest of people (or at least men, his views on women were not so charitable I think) in mind. I admire that, and understand and agree with many of his sentiments, but not all of course. We live in a different time ... now there is an interesting question, do ethics change over time?
