C.S. Lewis on Science

[k2extreem5]

I am wondering if anyone can recommend some of C.S. Lewis' work that includes a discussion of how we should view nature, the earth, or science generally. Thanks for the help. Josh.

Welcome, Josh!

My suggestions would be to read The Four Loves and Miracles. There are some essays that would give some information on specific areas of science, etc., but they aren't easily found in most libraries, whereas those two books are.

Hope this helps.

Josh,
At least one place he puts forward his view on how science should be done is toward the end of the Abolition of Man. He links up his thoughts with Martin Buber's in articulating a view of a science which is respectful of nature. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy ready-to-hand and cannot, therefore, be any more specific.

As odd as this sounds, I suggest The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature. In Lewis' inaugurational speech at Cambridge, he offered himself up as a specimen of an Old World. I am not saying he believed exactly what the Medievals believed about science, but rather, he viewed science the same way a Medieval viewed it--with far more integration and romanticism than we have now.
