Digital Logos Edition
Beloved for his Narnian tales for children and his books of Christian apologetics for adults, best-selling author C. S. Lewis also was a prophetic critic of the growing power of scientism in modern society, the misguided effort to apply science to areas outside its proper bounds. In this wide-ranging book of essays, contemporary writers probe Lewis’ warnings about the dehumanizing impact of scientism on ethics, politics, faith, reason, and science itself. Issues explored include Lewis’ views on bioethics, eugenics, evolution, intelligent design, and what he called “scientocracy.”
