The Scientific Dictatorship, Natural Law and the Abolition of Man
The Scientific Dictatorship, Natural Law and the Abolition of Man

“However far they go back, or down, they can find no ground to stand on… It is not that they are bad men. They are not men at all. Stepping outside the Tao, they have stepped into the void.”
These words, penned by C.S. Lewis in his 1947 book The Abolition of Man, remind us that there truly exists a phenomenon called natural law, or the Tao as Lewis calls it. Natural law has been recognized for as long as history has been written. To deny it takes the conscious effort of a normal human being. The idea of inalienable rights – the foundation upon which the United States Declaration of Independence was written – springs from natural law. As the book of Romans tells us, “For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these… shew the work of the law written in their hearts…”
Writing on the Tao Lewis states, “It is the sole source of all value judgements. If it is rejected, all value is rejected… The rebellion of new ideologies against the Tao is a rebellion of the branches against the tree: if the rebels could succeed they would find that they had destroyed themselves.” The Scientific Dictatorship that is defining the 21st Century is rebelling in the truest sense against natural law.
