In this new series, I'll investigate the first of the science-fiction trilogy by C.S. Lewis, called Out of the Silent Planet--a good little exploration into metaphysical and linguistic themes through the mid-century modern lens of Christianity. In this first episode, I discuss the roll of fantasy through Tolkien's "On Fairy Stories" as his friendship impressed upon Lewis's christian works, along with the roll of 'aporia' in learning, shown by the main character, Ransom.
