He presents the example,

A hypothetical innovator who seeks a rational basis for the belief that it is good to die for one’s country.

Lewis argues that even if the innovator proves it is more rational to die for society, he still needs to prove that society is worth preserving.

Rationalism alone, Lewis contends, cannot take the innovator where he wishes to go. Similarly, the innovator cannot rely on instinct as a way of getting underneath traditional values because conflicting instincts must be reconciled by some external standard.
