Activity 5: Documentary Film Analysis

Watch and take notes on the documentary film, The Magicin’s Twin: C.S. Lewis and the
Case Against Scientism, available on YouTube. Then, answer the following questions:

1. Why was C.S. Lewis very much a skeptic and critic of scientism? Was he against
science?
2. How did C.S. Lewis explain the following:
2.1. Science as religion
2.2. Science as credulity
2.3. Science as power
3. Why did C.S. Lewis think that modern science is far more dangerous than
magic?
4. Why did C.S. Lewis become increasingly concerned about the rise of
scientocracy? How does scientocracy relate to scientism?
5. Baed on what you learned from the documentary film, how does scientism post a
threat to the human person flourishing in science and technology? Why should
science be guided by an ethical basis that is not dictated by science itself?

Activity 6: Group Discussion and Reporting

Watch the documentary film That Sugar Film (2014), directed by Damon Garneau. After
watching the film, discuss your ideas on how the overproduction and overconsumption
of sugar-based products potentially p[revent humans from achieving eudaimonia. Is
there indeed a need for industries to regulate the production of sugar-based products
and for consumers to reduce their consumption if they are to journey toward the goof life
together? Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of the summary of your discussion with no
more than seven slides and be ready to share your ideas in front of the class.
