Lewis Means By The Law Of Nature, And The Law Of Nature

BOOK I. RIGHT AND WRONG AS A CLUE TO THE MEANING OF THE UNIVERSE

1. Explain what Lewis means by the “Law of Nature” or the “Law of Human Nature.”

Lewis means that the “Law of Nature” implies humans’ natural choices. He implies that many people today perceive the Law of Nature as gravity or other scientific option which is non-negotiable; however, Lewis states that the “Law of Nature” that he is speaking of implies a negotiable topic. One may choose to follow it or to not follow it.

2. When people are quarreling, to what are they appealing when they say, “How’d you like it if someone did the same thing to you?” (p. 3)

They are appealing to a standard of behaviour that many people require others to follow. When people are fighting, they

By comparing, we are making morality reformed. Measuring people by the standard of morality is judging a person on their ability to conform to the perception of a perfect morality. Everyone’s truth is different in their eyes; therefore, people’s truths make others suspect each other. They are not observing what is opinion and fact.

Three things that spread the Christ-life to us are through baptism, belief, and Holy Communion. Yes I think it is interesting that a non-Catholic would say this because these three things consist of two of the sacraments of Catholic religion.

23. Why is it important to make a decision about whether to believe or not believe in God? Why is a belief in a merely good life not sufficient to give us real meaning?

It is important because of authority. Without specific beliefs, we are not giving authority to anyone who has proven or also believes in such things as God and religious beliefs that follow the authority of God.

BOOK III. CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOR

24. How does the schoolboy perceive God? Is this your perception? Why or why not?

The schoolboy perceives God like a person who is snooping in other people’s business and trying to stop them from being happy. No this is not my perception because God is helping us be happy everyday with everything He has given
