Abstract
This article uses a particular cultural-historical lens—Christian humanism—for reading C. S. Lewis’s three-part work The Abolition of Man. The argument (1) traces Christian humanism from its patristic roots to its modern resurgence; (2) outlines key themes of Christian humanism, acknowledging the breadth of manifestations and contested elements hidden in that term; (3) outlines Lewis’s Christian humanism; and (4) suggests elements of The Abolition of Man that indicate Lewis’s Christian humanism.
本文使用一个特殊的文化历史视角--基督教人文主义--来解读 C. S. 刘易斯的三部曲作品《废人》。论点(1)追溯了基督教人文主义从教父起源到现代复兴的历史;(2)概述了基督教人文主义的关键主题,承认了该术语所隐藏的广泛表现形式和有争议的要素;(3)概述了刘易斯的基督教人文主义;(4)提出了《废止人类》中表明刘易斯基督教人文主义的要素。
