Abstract
In The Abolition of Man and “Is Progress Possible?,” C. S. Lewis reflects on the nature of the human person, science, liberty, and the role of government. These topics were also debated during the 2019–2022 coronavirus pandemic. This article reflects upon the lessons we might learn from Lewis in respect of those aspects of the pandemic, especially as found in the United Kingdom and United States. In considering Lewis’s approach we find a depth of wisdom in balancing liberty, scientific expertise, social and economic concerns, and the role of government.
