The Abolition of Man by Lewis Carroll
The Control of Language is the name that Lewis gives to a book that was actually called The Control of Language. He disguises it with this invented name, and he doesn't refer to the two authors by their real names but again, disguises them under the names Gaius and Tishis. It's really just a kind of springboard, a launching pad into his basic thesis about the objectivity of value. If language has no bearing on the matter in terms of accurately accounting for the data presented to our senses, then we're lost in a subjectivist world.
