Most devotees of C. S. Lewis are surprised to learn that the first course he taught at Oxford University was not a class in literature, but in philosophy.

Of course, Lewis is widely hailed as a great literary critic, but he was also, by training and profession, a first-rate philosophical thinker. His rational and imaginative powers combined to make him who he was, whether he was penning novels or poems, teaching, doing apologetics, or generating nonfiction. C. S. Lewis as Philosopher aims to show this to be so by exploring a range of investigations that captivated his attention while honing his skills.

Topics range from reflections about the transcendentals; the argument from reason; the Lord-Liar-Lunatic argument; his philosophical case for natural law in Abolition of Man; emotional doubt; true myth; the problem of evil; moral goodness; the nature of belief; the problem of hell; hedonism; aesthetic theodicy; mathematical elegance; sacramental metaphysics; the power of imagination; the argument from desire; driving questions of epistemology; to his arguably greatest philosophical novel of all: Till We Have Faces.

This third edition has four additions, written by the likes of Phil Tallon, Michael Ward, Reno Lauro, and Louis Markos. You don't want to miss this intellectual feast!
