The definitive exploration of C.S. Lewis's philosophical thought,
and its connection with his theological and literary work Arguably
one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century, C.S.
Lewis is widely hailed as a literary giant, his seven-volume
Chronicles of Narnia having sold over 65 million copies in print
worldwide. A prolific author and scholar whose intellectual
contributions transcend the realm of children's fantasy literature,
Lewis is commonly read and studied as a significant theological
figure in his own right. What is often overlooked is that Lewis
first loved and was academically trained in philosophy. In this
newest addition to the Blackwell Great Minds series, well-known
philosopher and Lewis authority Stewart Goetz discusses Lewis's
philosophical thought and illustrates how it informs his
theological and literary work. Drawing from Lewis's published
writing and private correspondence, including unpublished
materials, C.S. Lewis is the first book to develop a cohesive and
holistic understanding of Lewis as a philosopher. In this
groundbreaking project, Goetz explores how Lewis's views on topics
of lasting interest such as happiness, morality, the soul, human
freedom, reason, and imagination shape his understanding of myth
and his use of it in his own stories, establishing new connections
between Lewis's philosophical convictions and his wider body of
published work. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, this
short, engaging book makes a significant contribution to Lewis
scholarship while remaining suitable for readers who have only read
his stories, offering new insight into the intellectual life of
this figure of enduring popular interest.
