A welcome addition to the scholarly literature on Lewis’s influential defence of objective value. The perspectives are penetrating, illuminating, weighty without being ponderous. A collection that immediately establishes itself as the ‘go to’ book for anyone wanting to understand Lewis the philosopher at his most succinct, challenging, and telling.
