Is there any philosophy in the loin the witch and the wardrobe?

The book is actually christian. When you look at it from another perspective, you can see that the Lion, Aslan, is Jesus Christ, who gave his own life for a sinner's(Edmund), knowing that He would not be spared pain or suffering, even though He would rise again. The White Witch is Satan, always working for the greater evil and her own gain while clashing with Aslan(Jesus). Edmund is the sinner, representing the human race. The Stone table, which cracks when Aslan rises is the cross. And the Final Battle, is like the future Armageddon, where God/Jesus/the holy Spirit battle it out once and for all, with, of course, Aslan(Jesus and the trinity) winning. In the last book *SPOILER* the human group, lucy, peter etc. even go to heaven. The entire series is not completely based on this, it is still a fantasy book, but yes, a little. It's also quite a good book.
