Into the Wardrobe

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering how "The Abolition.." compares to books like Mere Christianity and other non-fictions of Lewis. I've just finished reading "The Great Divorce." Very powerful, but wondering about this one.
Thanks,
Lori

The Abolition of Man is a touchstone for me. It attacks the central error of the pseudo-scientific materialism which hovers behind present day discussions of ethics - the assumption that there are no absolutes. Jay Budzizewski covers the same ground that Lewis does in the former's book What you Cannot Not Know. Budzizewski examines this modern mistake by looking at it from the standpoint of the Christian philosophical area that has traditionally dealt with this issue - 'natural law'. Lewis uses the same sort of thinking as a springboard to a wonderfully accessible apologetic argument in the short essay 'Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe'.
