Goetz, Stewart.

A philosophical walking tour with C.S. Lewis : why it did not include Rome / Stewart Goetz. - ix,190 pages ; 23 cm

Includes bibliographical references (pages 181-188) and index.

Hedonistic happiness -- Supernatural persons -- Privation and goodness -- Body and soul -- A rational journey.

While much has been written on Lewis and his work, virtually nothing has been written from a philosophical perspective on his views of happiness, pleasure, pain, and the soul and body. As a result, no one so far has recognized that his views on these matters are deeply interesting and controversial, and-perhaps more jarring-no one has yet adequately explained why Lewis never became a Roman Catholic. Stewart Goetz's careful investigation of Lewis's philosophical thought reveals oft-overlooked implications and demonstrates that it was, at its root, at odds with that of Thomas Aquinas and, thereby, the Roman Catholic Church.
