  • C.
  • S.
  • Lewis
  • is
  • best
  • known
  • for
  • his
  • Narnia
  • tales
  • and
  • Christian
  • apologetics,
  • works
  • that
  • have
  • sold
  • more
  • than
  • 100
  • million
  • copies.
  • But
  • Lewis
  • was
  • also
  • a
  • trained
  • philosopher
  • and
  • a
  • professor
  • at
  • Cambridge
  • and
  • Oxford.
  • An
  • intellectual
  • giant,
  • he
  • fiercely
  • and
  • extensively
  • critiqued
  • the
  • fashionable
  • dogma
  • known
  • as
  • scientism—the
  • idea
  • that
  • science
  • is
  • the
  • only
  • path
  • to
  • knowledge,
  • and
  • matter
  • the
  • fundamental
  • reality.
  • Michael
  • Aeschliman's
  • The
  • Restoration
  • of
  • Man
  • ably
  • surveys
  • Lewis's
  • eloquent
  • case
  • against
  • this
  • dogma,
  • and
  • situates
  • him
  • among
  • the
  • many
  • other
  • notable
  • thinkers
  • who
  • have
  • entered
  • the
  • fray
  • over
  • this
  • crucial
  • issue.
  • Aeschliman
  • shows
  • why
  • Lewis's
  • case
  • for
  • the
  • human
  • person
  • as
  • more
  • than
  • matter—as
  • a
  • creature
  • with
  • inherent
  • rationality
  • and
  • worth—is
  • a
  • precious
  • resource
  • for
  • restoring
  • and
  • preserving
  • our
  • culture's
  • sanity,
  • wisdom,
  • and
  • moral
  • order.
  • This
  • newly
  • revised
  • and
  • expanded
  • edition
  • of
  • Aeschliman's
  • celebrated
  • study
  • includes
  • forewords
  • by
  • three
  • distinguished
  • writers—James
  • Le
  • Fanu,
  • George
  • Gilder,
  • and
  • Malcolm Muggeridge.
