More and more in our modern and postmodern culture the twin
concepts of beauty and truth have been separated both from each
other and from their individual connection to the divine source of
Beauty and Truth. Even as our public schools move further and
further away from their connection to the universal moral code, the
world of art (both high and low) embraces an aesthetic that
privileges ugliness over beauty, nihilism over form, and radical
self-expression over the pursuit of higher truth. As both an
effective apologist for truth-based education and as a sub-creator
of his own beauty-enhancing fiction, C.S. Lewis is the ideal guide
for those who would seek to restore truth and beauty to their
proper place and role in our modern world. Sections one and two
analyze Lewis' eleven novels, showing how Lewis counters the
growing cult of the ugly and helps restore a clearer understanding
of the nature of good and evil. Sections three and four turn to
Lewis' nonfiction works to assess what advice Lewis can give
educators at all levels who would steer their students away from
chronological snobbery and values-free education toward a true
re-engagement with the past. The book concludes with a commentary
onScrewtape Letters that exposes what Satan's main temptation
tactics have been since the 1960s and a detailed bibliographical
essay of books by and about Lewis.
