Talk:The Abolition of Man

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Interesting article, but it doesn't explain the book's title. (Why "The Abolition of Man"?)

Does the latest addition help? --Lavintzin 14:50, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Outline

Does a detailed outline like that CleverOaf inserted belong in this article? My own reaction is that probably not. It could be posted elsewhere and linked to. What do the rest of you think?

If it is to remain, there are a number of changes I would propose.

A less detailed outline might be helpful, though to some extent it would recapitulating information already in the article.

The Intercollegiate Review ranked this work at #2 of the Best Books of the 20th Century [1]--Billymac00 20:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It's political correctness gone crazy, I tell you.

The section headed "Lewis' relevance to the present" seems very politically biassed: it is pretty hard to see a connection between "political correctness" (whatever that means) and Lewis's "conditioners." There is indeed a UK government body called the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (it's job it to licence new pharmeceuticals) but what this has to do with the fictitious organisation of devil-worshipping scienntists in "That Hideious Strength" I can't quite see.
