CHAPTER

The Power of Imagination and Reason in Understanding Truth

The chapter explores C.S. Lewis's perspective on the role of imagination and reason in grasping truth and meaning, emphasizing that imagination is key to understanding meaning while reason aids in perceiving truth. It touches on how narrative storytelling can effectively convey truth instead of relying solely on philosophical doctrines, and discusses Lewis's insights on morality and objective values. The discussion also draws parallels between Lewis's views on self-sacrifice and the idea of recognizing values beyond oneself in both pagan and Christian traditions.
