C.S.Lewis’s trailblazing three-chapter essay, “The Abolition of Man” uses the characters Gaius and Titius to skewer moral relativists of his day. His scathing critique unmasks their manifesto on morality as no more than a canon of convenience.
Following his takedown of propagandist “Educators” and their “Green Book” in his first chapter, and moral relativist “Innovators” in his second chapter, Lewis’s final chapter tears into “Conditioners.” He means men, or humans, supposedly technological masters of their destiny.
