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 \u003ci\u003eChronicles?\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory Bassham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812695887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812695885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Court\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.10w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2005 pg. 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/29\/2005 pg. 35","brand":"Gregory Bassham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947284300031,"sku":"9780812695885","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_29a1230b-4fe9-4aa2-a217-4ba519101a56.jpg?v=1681517802","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-chronicles-of-narnia-and-gregory-bassham-9780812695885","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
