The Son and the other stars: Christology and cosmology in the imagination of C.S. Lewis
No full textThis dissertation treats the theory and practice of C. S. Lewis's theological imagination,
focussing upon the imaginative use he made of his professional expertise in medieval and
renaissance literature. Its approach is principally expository rather than an evaluative.
Chapter One outlines the centrality of the imagination to a proper understanding of Lewis's
works.
Chapter Two examines Lewis's own theory of imagination and surveys how he practised it
as a literary critic. We compare and contrast Lewis's theory and practice of imagination
with that of his friend, the theologian, Austin Faffer.
Chapter Three looks in more detail at Lewis's imaginative practice, in particular his
fascination with the images supplied by the seven planets of the Ptolemaic cosmos, which
he termed 'spiritual symbols of permanent value'. We analyse what he meant by 'sprit'
and 'symbol'.
Chapter Four introduces the main argument of the dissertation namely that these seven
spiritual symbols structure the works for which Lewis is best known, the seven 'Chronicles
of Narnia'. We claim to have uncovered the governing imaginative blueprint of the septet.
We address Lewis's capacity for and interest in secrecy and consider why this planetary
theme has remained hitherto undetected.
In Chapters Five to Eleven we take the seven planets in turn and trace the use Lewis made
of them through out his writings. We analyse the planetary symbolism undergirding each
Chronicle and conclude each chapter with an exegesis of the Christological message of each
book so understood.
Chapter Twelve examines factors which motivated Lewis to focus his imaginative energies
upon Ptolemaic cosmology and suggests one particular occasioning factor behind the
composition of the Chronicles. In addition, we consider theological and pedagogical reasons
why he kept silent about the planetary theme. We conclude by indicating certain
consequences that our argument has for future readings of these seven works

The agential fork : the hidden consequences of agency for plenitude in David Lewis' thesis of genuine modal realism
No full textIn this dissertation, I argue that David Lewis' abductive argument for Genuine Modal Realism (GMR) has the unwelcome, and hidden, implication of being unable to
accommodate agent causation theories of free will. This is because of his formulation of plenitude, which basically says that every way that a world or a part of a world could be is the way that some world, or part of some world is. This formulation tacitly assumes
that chance and nomological principles are sufficient to account for everything that happens at worlds. However, agent causation theories argue that free will is neither reducible to chance nor determined by physics. My argument recasts a fork argument made by Andrew Beedle. I proceed by arguing that chance-based principles evince an ontologically distinct kind of modality than agent causation principles. However,
plenitude only accounts for the physics/chance-based kind of modality. There is no similar principle of plenitude that can be given for agential modality that does not
collapse into the chance-based principle. But even if such a principle could be found, it would violate the doctrine in GMR that claims worlds are causally isolated. If no agential plenitude principle can be found and there is agential modality, then plenitude fails. If there is no agency at our world, and Lewis’ original formulation of plenitude is correct, then GMR implies no agency at any
world. This is the fork: If there is agency and GMR holds, then either plenitude fails, or isolation fails. But if there is no agency, and GMR holds, then there is no agency at any possible world. The latter prong is too strong a claim for an abductive argument like GMR. The
former proves that GMR cannot accommodate agent-causation theories. GMR loses its neutrality either way, to its detriment
