Transposition Part I

The first Verum Fabula Fellowship meeting of 2020 and it did not disappoint. We began our review of "Transposition." It is an essay written by CS Lewis in 1949. The crux of essay lay in the question of why is the religious, spiritual, and metaphysical experience(s) only expressed in the language of the physical, known experiences of humanity? If you will, why are abstractions best expressed in standard rhetoric? Does language offer the writer/speaker and reader/listener a 1-1 ratio of expression to reality? Does the seeming limitation of language prove the non-existence of such experiences based on there not being adequate language to express them properly

These are some of the questions we dive into; this is a fascinating essay. Enjoy!
