Publications

Aeschliman is the author of The Restoration of Man: C. S. Lewis and the Continuing Case against Scientism (3rd. edition, 2019; translated into French, 2020), which has been described by National Review (NY) as "a book marked by tremendous learning worn lightly, deployed vigorously, and offered generously to a generation that has forgotten how to think because it has lost its grip on the meaning of words."[3] The major French daily newspaper Le Figaro also hailed its publication, describing it as a work that "at long last makes accessible to the general reading public the essential reflections of C. S. Lewis on scientism and transhumanism."[4] The first edition was prefaced by the prominent journalist and intellectual Malcolm Muggeridge and praised by Russell Kirk as "One of the most perceptive books on C. S. Lewis," and "A succinct, strong book, worthy of Lewis himself."[5] Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury (2002–2012) wrote that: "The long overdue reappraisal of C.S. Lewis as a serious social critic and public intellectual has been much helped by Michael Aeschliman's incisive monograph."[6]

Aeschliman has written for National Review,[7] First Things,[8][9] Modern Age,[10] Crisis Magazine [11] and The Journal of Education (Boston).[12][citation needed] His work has also been published in Essays in Criticism (Oxford),[13] The Literary Criterion (Mysore, India), Semiotica (Toronto), The Imaginative Conservative,[14] The University Bookman (Mecosta, Michigan),[15] L'Analisi Linguistica e Letteraria (Milan)[16] and Evolution News and Science Today (Seattle).[17] His also published "A cold, gray glow" (Harper's, 1985).[18] He has been a contributing author of This Will Hurt - The Restoration of Virtue & Civic Order.[19] He appeared in the film "The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis and the Case against Scientism" (2012)[20][21] In addition to C. S. Lewis, Aeschliman has written and lectured about G. K. Chesterton,[22][23] T. S. Eliot, F. R. Leavis[24] and John Henry Newman.[9]
