Lewis was adamant that, despite his admiration, he was not recommending “a return to the Medieval Model”; rather, he wished to suggest “considerations that may induce us to regard all Models in the right way, respecting each and idolizing none. . . . No Model is a catalogue of ultimate realities, and none is a mere fantasy. Each is a serious attempt to get in all the phenomena known at a given period, and each succeeds in getting in a great many.”15
