Real Men Are… Integrated (C.S. Lewis vs. Relativism)

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."

These strong words came from C.S. Lewis in what would become his acclaimed work The Abolition of Man. Today, Bobby Angel uses C.S. Lewis' thoughts as a springboard to combat relativism, identify some of the issues modernity is assailing us with, and point us in the direction of true integration.

I AM WRITING A PAPER AS WE SPEAK ON RELATIVISM AND CS LEWIS! TALK ABOUT PROVIDENCE! I NEEDED

This video is so timely. The modern time is so confused, and failed to grasp that certain characteristics and virtues cannot be divorced from traditional values, which are mourned upon nowadays as "old-fashioned".

This makes me never wanna skip chest day

I loved hearing this. Thank you. We are in trouble. We must pray for change, that which God expects. 🕊🙏🏼♥️

I just read this book last year in my political philosophy class and I enjoyed it a lot. It's not an easy book to read. Even though the text is big and there's not a lot on the pages, its thick with thought provoking ideas; you really have to dissect what he says in some parts. Such a good book!! Thanks for making this video!

[jeanlanz]

Bobby, thank you. This is one of your best. Very inspired. God bless you and Jackie and your family.

[mazikode]

The virtue of clarity and humility is present! Very appropriate for those. Who have fallen fearfully in the more of misinformation of COVID 19.
Stay centered .
Faith over Fear!

[tonyhayes]

Ive been struggling with this book for 20 years. Thanks.

[KevinJXT]

This is all so wonderfully said and explained. Love how you highlight how Lewis’ quote is more than just about men having courage, but about having honor and integrity with the truth.

Well put brother. I read this a few weeks ago and it was terrifying to know this was written decades ago and comparing it to where we are today.

[dannytetreault]

Wow. A lot of cool guitar's🎸🎸🎸🎸 in the background. You play bro?

[Teamfra]

and thanks for your shout out to Mr. Tumness 🐐…men without chest, might grow goat legs 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

[DanaClarkDana]

Such a beautiful book; I especially appreciated his contrast of education as either the propagation of humanity or the propagandizing (and and thereby death) of it. One could take the ideas of this book and begin to understand the feeling of unhappiness and un-ease stemming from so much of humanity (perhaps even the majority) being held captive for generations on end; enslaved by the ideas of so few... not even subject to their own bad ideas.

I’ve visited both Tolkien’s and Lewis’s graves. Also sat in the same pub they used to frequent.

[joelpolanco]

Thank you for this enlightening video. As I work my steps and train my spiritual muscles at Spiritual Direction, I find myself struggling with my mind, lust, and being passive about Christ and his plan for us.
