Always steered clear of CS Lewis, despite his association with Owen Barfield and Marshall McLuhan, because of their bent towards christianity / theism / catholicism ... (the Inklings n'all that), but ...
But I'm reading an excellent (very) short book by CS Lewis "The Abolition of Man". With Ron and Platt debating Arete and balance again, I was reminded that I must have said a hundred times that Pirsig's word on the etymology of Art, Craft, Arete, and Rta are some of the most interesting, I find CS Lewis dwelling on Rta too and using "the Tao" as a synonym for the way (or quality or value) of "balance" between human emotion in empiricism / phenomenology and objectivity (exclusive of man). Anyone else studied this piece of CS Lewis ?
