The Book Recall
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode I discuss why C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity remains one of the strongest arguments for the objectivity of morality. Starting from everyday experiences like arguments, excuses, and guilt, I explain how moral reasoning behaves like a real structure that survives cultural, psychological, and evolutionary explanations. This is not a religious pitch, but a structural analysis of why morality refuses to disappear, and what that tells us about how humans reason about right and wrong.
