Abolition of Man: The Way

"Is it maintained that we must obey Instinct, that we cannot do otherwise? But if so, why are Green Books and the like written? ... Why such praise for those who have submitted to the inevitable?" (Lewis 34).

"The effort to refute it and raise a new system of value in its place is self-contradictory. There has never been, and never will be, a radically new judgement of value in the history of the world" (43).

In part two of The Abolition of Man C.S. Lewis goes about refuting Gauis and Titius by using instinct. He proposes the question of why the Green Book was written, it only explains the obvious, or the inevitable. He also brings up the Innovator and the attempts to change value. Lewis explains that value is objective, as explained in Mere Christianity, and any Innovatory who was to try to change value is dead wrong.
