The Abolition of Man Chapter Three

In this chapter, Lewis argues that we disregard the Tao as we seek to conquer Nature. Once we finally "conquer Nature" by redefining morality, Nature has really conquered us. Without a universal standard, we are subject to our whims, our emotions, our momentary desires. Thus, our natures have gotten the best of us.
Lewis does not argue against modern science, instead he calls for a new approach to science. Instead of looking at everything objectively apart from the Tao, we should look at like, at the world- as a whole. We cannot separate science from the rest of our lives. And, if we do approach science from a moral standpoint, we cannot go wrong.

I found Lewis' arguements very interesting. To some extent, we have fulfilled them. The Tao is old fashioned, science is sure. Yet when the two are apart, we are left with a sense of meaninglessness. Thus, we fulfill our desires-in search for meaning, to conquer nature. Instead Nature gets a greater hold on us. We can longer control ourselves and are thus dehumanized.
