He's he's a Church of England guy.

What Seth earlier said that that one of the powerful aspects of Lewis's book is his use of analogy.
podcast-host
And I would also add in there what felt like sort of uh apt, but to me unusual observations.
podcast-host
And in his wind up to the conclusion that we were talking about, he
podcast-host
points to a distinction of human beings.
podcast-host
One of the things that makes us human beings
podcast-host
Is is this recognition of fair play, of right and wrong, and noting that it is manifest in our quarreling about it.
podcast-host
And that animals don't quarrel.
podcast-host
They fight with one another, but they don't quarrel with one another, trying to show that someone else is wrong about something, trying to say, well, you're wrong about that.
podcast-host
And that that observation about who we
podcast-host
are he then goes and and does everything that we've just been discussing, that that becomes, you know, a mind-like independent entity that is setting that stage, setting that law, as opposed to it being part of who we are as social entities, that we have this come out of ourselves, something like what Tomasello would
podcast-host
would do or Korsgaard or
podcast-host
Yeah.
podcast-host
Which is interesting just as a comment, because in a way that's in a significant amount of tension, unless you have to be in the know to recognize quarreling.
podcast-host
Because on that analysis and his first point on page four about the observation that human beings quarrel about what's good and bad or what ought to be done that you shouldn't have
podcast-host
have behaved in a certain way or that this thing is better than that.
podcast-host
That quarreling as an indicator of us having a moral law that we are using as a yardstick to for our behavior.
podcast-host
That ought to be able to be observable by aliens.
podcast-host
It seems to me.
