Listen "The Abolition of Man: Trousered Apes"
Episode Synopsis
C.S. Lewis takes Gaius and Titius to task in Chapter 1 of The Abolition of Man for stripping children of their imagination with neither Gaius and Titius nor the children having awareness of what's been done. While they claim to be doing literary criticism, Gaius and Titius are training children to become "trousered apes" that are unable to discern the proper emotional response to different pieces of writing. But this goes beyond a mere English lesson. For the children are being taught that there is no such thing as a correct emotional response to phenomena taking place around them.
