Synopsis:

En este libro, C.S. Lewis reflexiona sobre la sociedad y la naturaleza; y los desafíos sobre como educar bien a nuestros hijos. Él elocuentemente argumenta que necesitamos como sociedad para apoyar la lectura y la escritura con lecciones de moralidad y en el proceso educarnos y reeducarnos a nosotros mismos.

Asombroso y profético, La abolición del hombre sigue siendo una de las obras más controvertidas de C.S. Lewis. Lewis se propone persuadir a su audiencia sobre la importancia actual y la relevancia de los valores objetivos universales, como el coraje y el honor, y la necesidad fundamental de la ley natural. También hace un caso convincente de que el retirar uno de estos pilares de nuestro sistema educativo, aunque sea «en nombre de la ciencia», sería catastrófico. National Review lo coloca en el número siete en sus «100 mejores libros de no ficción del siglo XX».

In this graceful work, C.S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons in morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves.

“If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defence of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book” -- WALTER HOOPER

""A Real Triumph."" -- Owen Barfield

 National Review lists it as number seven on their ""100 Best Nonfiction Books of the Twentieth Century.""
