“For the wise men of old the cardinal problem had been how
to conform the soul to reality, and the solution had been knowledge,
self-discipline, and virtue. For magic and applied science alike the problem is
how to subdue reality to the wishes of men: the solution is a technique; and
both, in the practice of this technique, are ready to do things hitherto regarded
as disgusting and impious.”
–C. S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man (HT - kuyperian.com)
