Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Abolition of Man, C. S. Lewis's masterpiece in ethics and the philosophy of science, warns of the danger of combining modern moral skepticism with the technological pursuit of human desires. The end result is the final destruction of human nature. From Brave New World to Star Trek, from steampunk to starships, science fiction film has considered from nearly every conceivable angle the same nexus of morality, technology, and humanity of which C. S. Lewis wrote. As a result, science fiction film has unintentionally given us stunning depictions of Lewis's terrifying vision of the future. In Science Fiction Film and the Abolition of Man, scholars of religion, philosophy, literature, and film explore the connections between sci-fi film and the three parts of Lewis's book: how sci-fi portrays ''Men without Chests'' incapable of responding properly to moral good, how it teaches the Tao or ''The Way,'' and how it portrays ''The Abolition of Man.''''ThoughThe Abolition of Manis one of Lewis's shortest books, it is also one of the most important and influential. This interesting collection of essays shows howthe perceptive critiques and prescient warnings found inAbolitionresound tellingly in many science fiction films and TV shows. A valuable and thought-provoking volume.''Michael Ward, Fellow of Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford''Students of C.S. Lewis and fans of science fiction alike will find their understanding of today's andtomorrow'sworld enriched, and likely chastened, by this thought-provoking collection of essays.''Charles T. Rubin, author ofEclipse of Man''Here we have an engaging, accessible, and highly relevant collection of essays on how science fiction at its best portrays our possible subhuman future.''Peter Lawler, Dana Professor of Political Science, Berry College''Science fiction isoften a kind of sociological exploration.Science Fiction and the Abolition of Mandemonstrates this clearly. The diverse interpretations demonstrate why sociological explorations of sci-fiare alwaysjourneys worth taking.''John Tenuto, Professor of Sociology, College of Lake Count''Science fiction films have warned for decades: the purveyors of scientific technologies may promise abetterandhappierworld, but in a culture bereft of orientation to goodness beyond ourselves, they can only providedifferent worlds--crafted at their whim, and often morally dangerous and profoundly unhappy. These delightful essays, by clarifying that warning through the lens of classic moral psychology, send us back to those great films with new eyes and, more importantly, refreshed hearts for goodness.''Robert B.
