The Tao of Narnia

Today's Breakpoint makes me want to reread The Abolition of Man as much as Prince Caspian. It will be interesting to see how well Lewis' jabs at subjective morality come through in the movie this weekend.

“We make men without chests and expect of them virtue . . . We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.”


On this same topic, Lewis said, "We remove the organ and demand the function." That's the metaphor I remember most from that book. We strip moral education from schools and still demand morality from our kids.
