| | C. S. Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Lewis held that for Jesus to be a liar or insane would contradict his position as a "great moral teacher", and the remaining option would make Jesus both a great moral teacher and divine. | | | Whatever its origins, the fact of Lewis' early interest in sado-masochism and sexual torture is supported by letters he wrote to Arthur Greeves, which were sometimes signed "Philomastix" ("whip-lover"). | | | Lewis taught as a fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, for nearly thirty years, from 1925 to 1954, and later was the first Professor of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge. |

| | FLUXEUROPA: THE ART AND IDEAS OF WYNDHAM LEWIS |
| | There were in any case fundamental differences of temperament and outlook, and Lewis was later to satirise the Bloomsburys in The Apes of God (1930). | | | Lewis was to become a key figure of the English intellectual, artistic and literary avant-garde of the first half of the twentieth century, and few of this talented circle were English. | | | Lewis was to follow Hulme in viewing the world through the duality of opposites: classicism versus romanticism, art versus life, reason versus emotion, intellect versus intuition, male versus female, aristocratic versus democratic, and fascism versus communism. |

| | Meriwether Lewis, Master Mason |
| | One wonders whether the greasy "fraturnal hug" with which the Lemhi-Shoshones welcomed Lewis in mid-August of 1805 reminded him of the Masonic tradition, and whether that coincidence might have inspired his famous, quasi-Masonic birthday meditation of August 18. | | | Lewis no doubt carried his apron during his preparatory travels, as any wayfaring Mason would have. | | | The monument on Lewis's gravesite in Lewis County, Tennessee, which was erected by the state legislature in 1848, is a broken column, symbolizing a life cut short before its promised course has been run. |

| | Radcliffe had set the example of inserting verse, sometimes not very bad verse, but she never shows the somewhat loose, but distinctly noteworthy, novel and even influential command of rapid rhythm which was another of Lewis’s oddly flawed, but by no means ordinary, gifts. | | | Lewis before his early death, wrote (or, rather, translated) other novels; but none of them attained, or, in the very slightest degree, deserved, the vogue of The Monk, or of his plays and verses. | | | The consequence was that The Monk did not please people even so little squeamish as Byron, and has never, except in a quasi-surreptitious manner, been reprinted in its original form. |

| | A Critique of Bernard Lewis - Campus Watch |
| | Lewis has noted, in public lectures, that more has been achieved to bring "progress" to the Muslim world by those who would be properly described as enlightened despots, such as King Muhammad V of Morocco, Bourguiba in Tunisia, Reza Shah Pahlavi in Iran, and especially, and most successfully, by Ataturk in Turkey. | | | What, one wonders, does Lewis think of the many Muslim or ex-Muslim scholars who have written about the total contradiction between the principles of sharia and the principles enshrined inthe Universal Declaration of Human Rights -- such scholars, for example, as Rexa Afshari, or Ali Sina, or Ibn Warraq, or Azam Kamguian. | | | Lewis himself must, more and more, have come to see -- especially as his beloved Turkey slides away from Kemalism -- that in certain essentials he got it wrong. |

| | Review of Bernard Lewis' "What Went Wrong: Western Impact and Middle Eastern Response"Juan Cole, Global Dialogue, 27 January 2 |
| | Lewis has a tendency to lump things under a broad rubric together that are actually diverse and perhaps not much related to one another. | | | Lewis repeats his often stated contrast between curious Europeans who established chairs in Arabic and tried to learn about the Orient, and remarkably self-satisfied Muslims who did not interest themselves in the outside world. | | | Lewis notes abstract juridical reasoning by muftis about whether a Muslim should live in a state ruled by non-Muslims (the jurists said "no"), but does not take into account realities on the ground. |

| | Bernard Lewis - The Islam scholar U.S. politicians listen to. By Emily Yoffe |
| | Lewis himself started his career as a scholar steeped in the medieval world, specializing in Islamic religious movements—but then the modern world, in the form of World War II, awakened a fascination with current events. | | | He did emerge in the pages of The Nation to again denounce Lewis for daring to assert there are such entities as "Islam" and the "West," and to claim the attacks were committed by a "tiny band of crazed fanatics" who are no more a threat to the world than were the Branch Davidians. | | | Among Lewis' many contributions to scholarship that can't be undone by even the most fervent post-colonialist, postmodernist, deconstructionist, it's-all-our-faultists was to pioneer the field of social history—telling the story of a civilization by portraying the lives of average people, not just accounts of rulers, military leaders, the towering figures of their times. |

"Crude" I guess means unrefined and lacking in literary sophistication. |

| | Bernard Lewis: British Svengali Behind Clash of Civilizations |
| | "In principle," Lewis explained, "the world was divided into two houses: the House of Islam, in which a Muslim government ruled and Muslim law prevailed, and the House of War, the rest of the world, still inhabited and, more important, ruled by infidels. | | | Lewis' arrival at Princeton, after serving on the faculty of the University of London's Middle East and Africa faculty (the repository of the original India House files, long officially referred to as the Colonial Department), coincided with then-Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's fomenting of the civil war in Lebanon. | | | Lewis then claimed that the evolution of modern Islamic terrorism, specifically the al-Qaeda terrorism, had a long proud history within Islam, dating to the Assassins cult of the 11th-13th Centuries. |

| | In particular, Lewis argues that Islam permits polygamy and concubinage and that the Christian Churches prohibit it. | | | Lewis argues that secularism constitutes a great divide between Islam and the West: the West always had it and Islamic societies never did. | | | Lewis declares that the industrialization programs launched by the Ottomans and Egypt "failed, and most of the early factories became derelict." These programs were doomed from the outset because their promoters lacked a proper regard for time, measurement, harmonies, secularism, and women's rights-values upon which Western industrial success was founded. |
