In this second episode of the series, we look at a bit more of Lewis's philosophy (with even still more Tolkien!) from his work, Mere Christianity, in particular on the necessity of free will and the problem of Evil. This is then taken to the text of Out of the Silent Planet and the way it investigates Christian notions of Goodness and Sin. Finally, we look at less religious philosophies and their role on memory, a dominant theme in the novel,. particularly in its contrast to the philosophies of David Hume.
