Which C.S. Lewis book examines the dangers of removing traditional values from education?

The C.S. Lewis book examining the dangers of removing traditional values from education is The Abolition of Man.

Published in 1943, The Abolition of Man developed from three lectures Lewis gave at the University of Durham. He criticized an approach to education that treated moral judgments as merely subjective emotions. Lewis argued instead for the importance of objective values, which he called the Tao.

The book is a short work of literary criticism, philosophy, and moral reflection rather than a novel. Its final chapter imagines how attempts to reshape humanity through technological control could ultimately undermine human nature itself.

Readers sometimes confuse it with Mere Christianity, which presents a broader case for Christian belief, or with The Four Loves, which analyzes types of love. The Abolition of Man is specifically focused on education, moral formation, and the consequences of rejecting objective value.
