Wow, I liked chapter two a lot.
It was cool the way C.S. Lewis explained our instincts are like keys on a piano, and that our Rule of Human Nature is the music in which to play these notes.

The moral law tells us the tune we have to play: our instincts are merely the keys.
-C.S. Lewis-mere Christianity, chapter 2.
It also makes lots of sense the way he explained that if there is no Greater Rule to compare what we call Moral then how can we choose between one moral, say Christianity, or say, the Nazis. The Rule of Human Nature is something deep inside of us, not the herd instinct, but something greater, something bigger that tells us how to use our instincts.
