C. S. Lewis' War Against Scientism and Naturalism A Detailed Examination of His Views

C. S. Lewis mounted a sustained intellectual defense against scientism—the belief that science alone can answer all meaningful questions—and naturalism, the view that only the physical world exists. This detailed examination explores how Lewis, through his fiction, essays, and apologetic works, challenged these worldviews by arguing for the reality of reason, morality, and the transcendent. The book traces his critique across *The Chronicles of Narnia*, *Mere Christianity*, and his philosophical writings, revealing how he believed a purely materialist framework cannot adequately account for human consciousness, moral truth, or spiritual experience. Essential reading for those interested in Lewis's intellectual legacy and the enduring tension between faith and scientistic materialism.
