The Magician's Twin is a book of fascinating essays edited by John G. West. The subtitle of the book is C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society. The essays derive their inspiration from Lewis's work, especially The Abolition of Man and the third novel in his space trilogy, That Hideous Strength. We live in a world which has in large measure accepted the Faustian bargain of power through science and has extended an often uncritical authority to scientists and their testimony. C.S. Lewis respected science but was a sharp critic of scientism. Peggy will be our discussion leader and we hope to see many of you as we explore the scientist, the magician's twin.
