The Chronicles of Narnia series has entertained millions of
readers, both children and adults, since the appearance of the
first book in 1950. Here, scholars turn the lens of philosophy on
these timeless tales. Engagingly written for a lay audience, these
essays consider a wealth of topics centered on the ethical,
spiritual, mythic, and moral resonances in the adventures of Aslan,
the Pevensie children, and the rest of the colorful cast. Do the
spectacular events in Narnia give readers a simplistic view of
human choice and decision making? Does Aslan offer a solution to
the problem of evil? What does the character of Susan tell readers
about Lewis’s view of gender? How does Lewis address the
Nietzschean “master morality” embraced by most of the villains of
the Chronicles? With these and a wide range of other questions,
this provocative book takes a fresh view of the world of Narnia and
expands readers’ experience of it.
