Series 03, Episode 03: Unnatural Order Theory Phil in the Details

In this episode, we look at the second half of Lewis's Out of the Silent Planet with specific focus on some of the greater mistakes of reasoning made by Ransom throughout the text--specifically, his inability to rectify in his mind the fact that three species can exist in cohabitation without a forced power structure. We look at the philosophies of Aristotle and Aquinas, some more on memory as we return a bit to Paul Ricoeur and Plato as well. The episode sets up a discussion of Lewis's criticism of man, and some environmental philosophy as well!
