The Abolition of Man (C.S. Lewis)

"The Abolition of Man" by C.S. Lewis argues that denying universal moral values—what Lewis calls "the Tao"—leads to ethical relativism and ultimately undermines human dignity. He warns that abolishing shared moral standards can result in the dehumanization of society, where objective goodness and virtue are replaced by arbitrary preferences. Lewis emphasizes that objective moral truths are essential for moral progress and human well-being. The book encourages recognizing and upholding universal moral principles to preserve the integrity of human nature and culture.
