Clive Staples Lewis is a writer who has been psychoanalyzed to death. More specifically‚ his works have been drained of all their literary lifeblood by critical vampires – modern and classical alike – down to epithelial husk and osseous substructure‚ where rigid philosophy replaces‚ or has not suffered the same fate as‚ style. There is one work‚ though‚ which seems to have escaped the scourge of Christian love-smothering or non-Christian indictment of Lewis as a theological anachronism: The Pilgrim’s

However‚ some critics will argue that darkness did not wreak chaos onto mankind; rather‚ it is humankind that is responsible for its own destruction. According to David Spitz‚ “If anything were to go wrong‚ as it tragically did‚ it could only come‚ then‚ from within; the only enemy of man was himself” (Spitz 5).

The similarities between the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1803 to 1806 and a manned mission to Mars are not immediately obvious. Meriwether Lewis‚ William Clark and their fellow adventurers never had to deal with the problems of cosmic radiation‚ for instance‚ or the osteoporosis and muscle atrophy caused by spending months in zero gravity. And they had a never-ending supply of air. I expected that a comparison between their trip across the West and a potential space mission wouldn’t be that useful

Introduction: C.S. Lewis writes about God-love and Gift-love and the differences between both. He starts off describing Need-love. The best I can describe Need-love is in this passage on page 2: "We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness. We need others physically‚ emotionally‚ intellectually; we need them if we are to know anything‚ even ourselves." We can perceive Need-love to be selfish but as C.S. Lewis uses an example to describe how Need-love is not

The Abolition of Man by C. S. Lewis TEXT RESPONSE “I do not mean‚ of course‚ that he will make any conscious inference from what he reads to a general philosophical theory that all values are subjective and trivial. The very power of Gaius and Titius depends on the fact that they are dealing with a boy: a boy who thinks he is ‘doing’ his ‘English prep’ and has no notion that ethics‚ theology‚ and politics are all at stake. It is not a theory they put into his mind‚ but an assumption‚ which ten years

Lewis complicates the idea of American politicians and politics being productive and moral when he announces‚ “...American politics is dominated by politicians who build their careers on immoral compromises...ally themselves with open forms of political‚ economic
