BURGOS LOPEZ, Campo Ricardo. Science and technique in the anti-science fiction of C S. Lewis. Civilizar [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.20, pp.131-144. ISSN 1657-8953.

The article analyzes the image of Western science and technology (and by extension of civilization in which they are prominent), that put CS Lewis's Cosmic Trilogy (classic of fantasy literature and religion of the twentieth century). In the scientific-technical culture now prevailing in these three novels, Lewis proposes a civilization rooted in Christianity. Faced with a scientific-technical culture to promote the dehumanization just the discrimination of humans and nonhumans, new forms of alienation and, ultimately, opposed to wisdom, Lewis bet the alternative of a return to Christ. Such a return to Christ is also the return to wisdom, and thus opting for a path leading to full humanization.
