In the Chapter “Men Without Chest” by CS Lewis
He discusses several repercussions of an education that reduces and dismisses all worth as subjective and unimportant while ostensibly attempting to teach subjects such as English. To begin, he claims that a student reading The Green Book will have two beliefs about the speaker’s emotional state and that the statements are unimportant. According to CS Lewis, this will direct the student’s attention to trivial matters that will not benefit him or her. Furthermore, the student will be unable to concentrate on vital topics such as politics, ethics, and theology. Moreover the impact they will have contradicting ideas resulting to him or her not understanding the influence the of the author’s ideology. Moreover, he criticizes the authors of the theory stating that they do not understand what they are doing to people taking English as he merely cannot differentiate between the fact and assumptions that the theory makes.
CS Lewis criticizes the theory from The Green Book
And the ideology in it stating that it has adverse impact and influence as their assumptions do not consider important things such as ethics, politics, and ethics. Moreover, he clearly identifies the effects the book and the theory have on an education that reduces and dismisses all value as a subjective and trivial while presumably trying to teach subjects like English. This makes the argument by CS Lewis valid as he considers some the facts that the book and the theory assume and are influential in shaping and molding the thinking of the schoolboy. Importantly, CS Lewis gives practical examples of the effects of the theory of the green book indicating that their ideology is adverse and its impacts are unwanted.
