The trousered ape is taken from C.S. Lewis' book The Abolition of Man. Poking fun of the idea that we are advanced, evolved monkeys, wearing trousers and being intellectual. I find the idea amusing - hence the name. :)
I will attempt to limit the posts on this blog to just those of a philosophical and/or apologetical nature. While I don't forsee this blog being as active as my main blog - I thought it might be interesting from time to time to share some thoughts, quotes and insights by those people who have helped to shape modern thinking.
I hope you will enjoy!
The Trousered Ape
“To be ignorant and simple now - not to be able to meet the enemies on their own ground - would be to throw down our weapons, and to betray our uneducated brethren who have, under God, no defense but us against the intellectual attacks of the heathen. Good philosophy must exist for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.” - C.S. Lewis
“Even a bad shot is dignified when he shows up at a duel.” - G.K. Chesterton
