The Abolition of man

This one I found a bit difficult to understand, but i feel like he was trying to show how our craving at science is like a power struggle. He shows how man contributes to science and then considers himself to have conquered nature. Science and discovery is attributed to power. He explains that when we "conquer nature" we are really only setting ourselves up to rule or be ruled by others. Men don't conquer nature, they use it as a means of gaining power. CS Lewis gives the example of people buying things. When you buy a piece of technology you are exercising your power of that part of nature so to speak. But really, the sellers who control who gets it or not by the price are exercising a bit of power over them. This shows how we use nature as our means of attaining power. He later ties this into the concept of abandoning our instincs. Everyman has a basis for right and wrong. Even people without religion know not to kill people. CS Lewis states that in this quest to conquer science they forget about those instinctual values and push them aside to attain the power they wish to discover. This takes away the belly of man. Finally man has been abolished. The head, chest, and belly have all been lost. Man has become something else entirely.
