Is morality objective? What is the defense for objective value and natural law? Author of the Socrates in the City favorite Planet Narnia, literary critic, C.S. Lewis expert, and James Bond extra, Fr. Michael Ward sits down with host Eric Metaxas to discuss this vast subject with humor and charm. While the two focus on C.S. Lewis’s The Abolition of Man, they also touch on other works by Lewis such as That Hideous Strength and Surprised by Joy. This Socrates in the City conversation took place in July of 2024 in Oxford, England.
