#219 Dr. Max Baker-Hytch: Was C.S Lewis a philosopher?
Today we are joined by Dr. Max Baker-Hytch, a tutorial fellow in Philosophy at Oxford University, to discuss Lewis and philosophy. Did C.S. Lewis consider himself a philosopher, and should we? What kind of philosophical training did he have, and which thinkers shaped his ideas? How do his arguments compare with other 20th-century philosophers, and why is he often overlooked in academic philosophy today? They also explore whether Lewis’ fiction carries philosophical weight, how his faith influenced his reasoning, and what his work can teach us about tackling life’s big questions today.
