[MD] The Abolition of Man ?

[ian glendinning]

Always steered clear of CS Lewis, despite his association with Owen
Barfield and Marshall McLuhan, because of their bent towards
christianity / theism / catholicism ... (the Inklings n'all that), but
...

But I'm reading an excellent (very) short book by CS Lewis "The
Abolition of Man".

With Ron and Platt debating Arete and balance again, I was reminded
that I must have said a hundred times that Pirsig's word on the
etymology of Art, Craft, Arete, and Rta are some of the most
interesting, I find CS Lewis dwelling on Rta too and using "the Tao"
as a synonym for the way (or quality or value) of "balance" between
human emotion in empiricism / phenomenology and objectivity (exclusive
of man).

Anyone else studied this piece of CS Lewis ?
