| | Abolition of Man -- Chapter 3 |
| | When considering man's conquest of nature, we must imagine humanity on a time line beginning with the man's arrival to and extending to man's extinction. | | | The contraceptive deceives man into thinking he has conquered nature, when in fact the result is men powering over other men using Nature as their instrument. | | | The reason to conquer man is because there is nothing left to conquer. |

| | Abolition of Man |
| | The final essay is entitled “The Abolition of Man,” a title perfect for the conclusion of this book because it reveals the ultimate end if we succumb to subjectivism. | | | Lewis is saying that man, in his attempt to make progress, learns to control more and more of nature. | | | The abolition of man provides a clear warning to readers that we, as educated people and consumers of future “Green Books,” should heed carefully. |

| | Psychology and the Abolition of Meaning |
| | While this certainly wounds man's pride, it does more than that: it demonstrates that the object of his deepest longings is utterly illusory, and hence his longings are utterly unfulfillable. | | | Applied to man, it is the universal solvent. | | | From the perspective of a classical, antireligious form of psychoanalysis, the faith that guides men in their moral choices is not only a fable, but a neurosis. |

| | The Abolition of Man |
| | The real objection is that if man chooses to treat himself as raw material, raw material he will be: not raw material to be manipulated, as he fondly imagined, by himself, but by mere appetite, that is, mere Nature, in the person of his de-humanized Conditioners. | | | It is in Man's power to treat himself as a mere `natural object' and his own judgements of value as raw material for scientific manipulation to alter at will. | | | The true significance of what is going on has been concealed by the use of the abstraction Man. Not that the word Man is necessarily a pure abstraction. |

| | Therefore, to attempt to use "man" as unmarked is an obsolete use of English which is insensitive to women. | | | This position recognizes that "man" is currently used in English to refer to both men and women but considers it abusive. | | | On the other hand, the phrase, "A man should love his wife as he does his own body" clearly uses "man" as a gender-specific term. |

| | The second lecture in The Abolition of Man contains a fascinating argument that the judgments of the Tao — Lewis' term for traditional morality — stand or fall together. | | | Lewis begins the first lecture in The Abolition of Man by challenging two elementary textbook authors he calls "Gaius" and "Titius," who claim that our moral and value judgments are simply misleading ways of describing our personal preferences. | | | Modern man, says C.S. Lewis in The Abolition of Man, is making the same mistake. |

| | His final lecture, ``The Abolition of Man'', which also provided the title of the book published the following year, was a sustained attack on hard-line scientific anti-humanism. | | | He argued that naturalism, as he called it, was not a position that could be argued for, since the very fact that a man was arguing for naturalism would show that he thought the person he was addressing was open to reason, and not the mere product of determinist causes. | | | Lewis's turning away from philosophical polemics was not the result of his having been once worsted in an encounter---he was not the man to be defeated by a single defeat. |

| | In The Abolition of Man C. Lewis noted that nothing he could say would keep some people from saying that he was anti-science, a charge he was nevertheless eager to refute. | | | The active intellectual discrimination against Duhem, and subsequently against Jaki-despite their enormous erudition and unquestionable distinction-would not have surprised the man who wrote "The Inner Ring," "Bulverism," The Abolition of Man, and That Hideous Strength. | | | The importance of the medieval thinkers Buridan and Oresme for science had been rediscovered by the great twentieth-century French physicist Pierre Duhem, whose own work Jaki has done so much to restore to the prominence it deserves. |

But to give up your soul is to lose yourself. | | | And so losing free will in society results in the Abolition of Man. |
