Palavras-chave: Nietzsche, C.S. Lewis, Nárnia.
In the present work I intend first to explain what Nietzsche, Hegel and Schopenhauer think about art and tragedy. They, following Winckelmann, are reading the Greeks for the construction of the German identity still in XIX century. Like Kant, they use art to justify their philosophical positions, but different from Kant, do not argue that reason is enough to
know reality. Then they analyze the tragedy (Greek and modern) under the assumption that it is able to communicate how is the reality. This has consequences in Germany and Europe in the twentieth century, such as Nazism, the relativization of moral values, and the emergence
of modern art, which has no preoccupation with technique or beauty, but only has with making the horrors of the world acceptable. CS Lewis grew up with this vision of the world, but turned to Christianity and began to publish various works on the most varied subjects (ethics, religions, judgments, tradition, education, literature) as a way to combat the ideas of the Germans and the culture the left that, to him, will take to the abolish of man. At the same time, as a professor of literature at Oxford and later at Cambridge, he writes the Chronicles of Narnia, already old and more mature and puts many of his ideas in this child fantasy book
which among its purposes, aims to educate children through their Christian, literary and historical references.
