Cs Lewis Law Of Nature Analysis

Based on the relative definition of induction that we supported in class –to lead into a conclusion based on personal observation- C.S. Lewis’s excerpt on the law of human nature does demonstrate inductive reasoning through his argument; I say this because of my own observations and inductive analysis. Lewis first states that there are laws of different manners that subject all things in the world. Organisms, specifically humans, are subjected to a biological set of laws that cannot be disobeyed. The majority of these types of laws are not subject to choice for one to obey or disobey, simply because either option does not exist in terms of biological law. For example, one cannot choose whether or not to they want to breathe oxygen to live,
Much like the stone, each man is bound to have the same effect. The man does not have a choice to whether he is going to obey or disobey the law that while unsupported, gravity will result in him falling. There are laws, however, every man can choose to disobey, but only if the law is specific to his nature. Lewis explains that this is the Law of Nature. It is called the law of nature because the human race took the assumption that all people knew this law by nature and didn’t need to be taught about it. Lewis identifies that the human perspective of the idea of decent behavior was the topic that everyone supposedly knew about. He reflects on the case that some people challenged the fact that everyone knew this law habitually and then he also challenged those who agreed with the idea that decent human behavior was not known pertaining to the differences amongst the moral teachings in civilizations throughout different eras. Lewis did not believe this idea to be true after he observed the differences in human standards of Hindus, Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese, and Romans. We see a demonstration of induction through his comparisons between these different
