The Moral Void of Modern Education
Imagine a world where children are taught that statements like "this waterfall is beautiful" or "this act is noble" merely express feelings, not truths about reality. This isn't dystopian fiction-it's happening in classrooms everywhere. In "The Abolition of Man," C.S. Lewis exposes how seemingly innocent educational approaches subtly undermine our entire moral framework. When teachers casually suggest that value statements are "just feelings," they implicitly communicate that values themselves lack objective reality. This isn't neutral analysis-it's philosophical dynamite. The consequences extend far beyond academic debates. Students develop razor-sharp critical thinking but no framework for determining what matters or why. They can dissect Shakespeare's language but remain blind to the moral truths his works illuminate. They become what Lewis calls "men without chests"-individuals with powerful intellects and strong appetites but lacking the essential middle element that connects knowledge to wisdom: trained moral sentiments. What makes this particularly dangerous is how it presents itself as objective education while actually advancing a radical philosophical position. Most teachers don't intend to promote moral relativism, yet their casual dismissal of value statements as "merely subjective" inevitably plants this worldview in young minds. The result? A generation skilled at analysis but potentially unable to recognize why anything should be valued at all.
