Objective: articulate one?s own vision of the good life in dialogue with Lewis, especially his presentation of moral maturation in That Hideous Strength
This paper focuses on the various issues involved in knowing what is right, doing what is right, and becoming a good (or virtuous) person
You may pursue this question in several ways:
compare and contrast the moral development (or lack thereof) of Mark and Jane
summarize, explain, and evaluate the moral development of Mark or Jane
answer the question, according to Lewis, what does it mean to be “grown up”?
As this paper involves more personal application, the word limit is expanded to 2000 words
I will expect you to use the following resources:
Caroline Simon, “On Love”
Gilbert Meilaender, “On Moral Knowledge”
C.S. Lewis, “The Weight of Glory”
TBA (reading on virtue ethics)
