Description

Product Description Although it has been almost seventy years since Time declared C.S. Lewis one of the world's most influential spokespersons for Christianity and fifty years since Lewis's death, his influence remains just as great if not greater today. While much has been written on Lewis and his work, virtually nothing has been written from a philosophical perspective on his views of happiness, pleasure, pain, and the soul and body. As a result, no one so far has recognized that his views on these matters are deeply interesting and controversial, andperhaps more jarringno one has yet adequately explained why Lewis never became a Roman Catholic. Stewart Goetz's careful investigation of Lewis's philosophical thought reveals oft-overlooked implications and demonstrates that it was, at its root, at odds with that of Thomas Aquinas and, thereby, the Roman Catholic Church. Review "This is the most intellectually satisfying book on C. S. Lewis I have read. Because of Goetz's meticulous and respectful attention to Lewis's thought, as required for accurate treatment of his philosophical opinions, all that he says consequently about his subject bears the mark of this fair and careful reasoning. He is convincing on Lewis's differences with the received Catholic philosophy of his time; nothing in it is careless, facile, or partisan, and he blesses in particular Catholic readers who love Lewis with his conviction that inability to join the Catholic Church was based primarily on honorable difficulties with Thomism ... [A] must-read book." --S. M. Hutchens, Senior Editor, Touchstone "Why didn't C. S. Lewis's religious journey end in Rome? Stewart Goetz suggests that the answer involves a theoretical quarrel with Thomas Aquinas about pleasure and the soul. It is a provocative thesis, carefully argued." -Dennis O'Brien, The Christian Century About the Author Stewart Goetz is Professor of Philosophy and Ross Frederick Wicks Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Ursinus College, USA. His past publications include The Purpose of Life: A Theistic Perspective (2012), The Soul Hypothesis: Investigations into the Existence of the Soul (co-edited with Mark C. Baker, 2010), and A Brief History of the Soul (co-authored with Charles Taliaferro, 2011).
