1.) "The man who called the cataract sublime was not intending simply to describe his own emotions about it: he was also claiming that the object was one which merited those emotions" (Lewis 15).
2.) “Aristotle says that the aim of education is to make the pupil like and dislike what he ought. When the age for reflective thought comes, the pupil, who has been thus trained in ‘ordinate affections’ or ‘just sentiments’, will easily find the first principles in Ethics” (16).
Throughout this chapter C.S Lewis is criticised the way Gaius and Titius methods for education. These people are completely disregarding people’s values that they have acquired from religion, family tradition, or even culture and replaced them with what they think is right. They are making replicas of themselves and the ideology; not teaching them individuality to kids. They are teaching kids their bias view of the world. Mr. Lewis is also saying that they are using their sentiments as proof for methods of teachings, not actual facts. In the long run they become will become people without any values or people who has the same set of values as Gaius and Titius. In the end it would make a world which programed to see the world as they do.
