Which 1943 C.S. Lewis book argues that education should develop the intellect and moral imagination together?

The Abolition of Man is the 1943 C.S. Lewis book that argues education should develop the intellect and moral imagination together.

The work grew from three lectures Lewis delivered at Durham University in February 1943. He wrote partly in response to approaches to literary education that, in his view, treated moral judgments as merely subjective emotional reactions.

Lewis argues that human beings need training in the appropriate emotions as well as instruction in facts. He presents a shared moral order, which he calls the Tao, as a foundation for education and ethical reasoning. His examples draw on several religious and philosophical traditions.

The book’s title refers to the danger that technological power and value-free education could produce people who have greater control over nature but weaker human judgment. It is a short philosophical work, not a novel, and is distinct from Lewis’s 1940 book The Problem of Pain.
