The Abolition of Man is the C.S. Lewis book with that educational subtitle.
Published in 1943, The Abolition of Man developed from three lectures Lewis delivered at the University of Durham. The book examines moral education, objective value, and the danger of treating human judgments as nothing more than subjective feelings. Its subtitle identifies the immediate educational context, but the argument extends well beyond classroom teaching.
Lewis responded to trends in modern education that he believed weakened students’ recognition of value and duty. He argued that moral formation requires more than technical knowledge and that human beings share an underlying order of values. He called this order the Tao, using a term associated with Chinese philosophy in a broad comparative sense.
The title is sometimes confused with That Hideous Strength, a later novel that also addresses the consequences of attempts to redesign humanity. The Abolition of Man is a work of nonfiction and philosophical criticism, not a novel.
