C.S. Lewis’s Challenge to Scientocracy in Cambridge and Beyond

Beloved writer C.S. Lewis was a searing critic of the misuse of science for totalitarian ends.

As part of his talk, West also discusses Lewis’s move from Oxford to Cambridge and reveals little-known details about Lewis’s inaugural lecture in Cambridge that addressed the impact of science on modern culture. West is Vice President of Discovery Institute and editor of The Magician’s Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society.
