There is no final boss because the game never ends. Every boss becomes more difficult and more horrifying as time goes on, and every time you think to yourself "surely, this the last one, it can't get any more bleak", but it does. It never ends.

>>13712887
You start with Plato, you read the other philosophers through history who criticise his works or criticise critique of his works only to find yourself back at Plato once you've finished in order to finally defeat him with the powers you've found. Only then can you start thinking for yourself.

philosophy is a projection onto the world with the power to transform it. every philosopher of genius, every philosopher that taps into this power, is simultaneously correct, both past and present

The Final Boss is dead and we have killed it. How we will fill the void of not having anything that motivates us to play? What meaning is left now that we have killed that which gave us meaning? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become Bosses simply to appear worthy of it?

Currently it’s Badiou, Laruelle, and Sloterdijk on the continent. In the Anglo world it depends on the field, but I’d say David Lewis is the last universally recognized major thinker. Phil of Mind, science, and politics will have there own answers.

>>13715580
>>13712887
But seriously, we have barely started to come to terms with Deleuze’s innovations in Difference and Repetition, let alone Badiou’s Being and Event.
Badiou’s more recent work barely has any critical work done on it at all. Like there are flat out zero long commentaries on Logics of Worlds. Also if you read french and want an easy PhD, be the first person to write anything on Badiou latest big book.

>>13715600
why is there still doubt in your heart?

>>13715593
I don’t think so, unless he has a ton of earth shattering material unpublished, or recently published. The most important aspects of Kripke’s thought have all become totally hegemonic in analytical philosophy. I said David Lewis bc I think people are still grappling with the implication of his Metaphysics.

I’d also add the latter-day Sellars followers, like McDowell and Brandom might represent the current cutting edge also.

If Meillassoux‘s magnum opus is all it’s made out to be, he might be the new final boss, but I doubt it

>Strauss's position rests on the assumption that there is no rational or objective foundation for "revelation". If it is true, however, that an evolutionary understanding of "revelation" reveals Biblical monotheism as an evolutionary step towards postbiological evolution, and that the image of God may be fulfilled by an artificial intelligence that becomes the most intelligent life form on Earth, then the conflict between reason and revelation is exploded in the possibility of the God-philosopher. God-AI would have the potential to be the greatest philosopher ever known.

I read the Phenomenology of the Spirit in my freshman year to impress my professor in one of my philosophy classes.

It is a literal cartoon. It's literally in the anime "Neon Genesis Evangelion". I think like episode 20 or something, I forget. It's actually a perfectly valid point of view. Your professor is gay, and needs to read some Heidegger.

>>13716611
Yeah it's in the episide 25 or 26, nice psychological anime but the christian and jewish symbolism sucks ass

>>13716668
But it's about fighting Angels of God. It's literally gnostic. It's based as fuck. Basically about humanity gaining independence from the divine authorities and building its own civilization.

>>13716668
Also it was earlier than episode 25/26. I'm just watching the show now for the first time and I haven't gotten there yet. I'm talking about when Shinji has those visions when he merges with his Eva and he is told that the image of him that exists in other people is a real version of him. Very Heideggerian, similar to his notion of "making present".

I don't see anything inherently wrong with asking that question. Your professor seems like a dick but that's to be expected.

Jordan Peterson's lectures arfe of tremendous intellectual value. It's a bit strange that a psychologist should delve into such domains. But he is no fool. It is no mystery why he appeals to tens of thousands. More power to him, may he continue to speak his truth despite the howling shrieks of cowardly feminism and all the other lies of our time.

Don't watch Ergo Proxy, it's garbage.
There are a few anime with philosophical themes but they are often presented in a shallow manner and not explored since the commercial format isn't ideal for in-depth philosophy. Ping Pong the Animation is nice, but it's the same as I described.

Ergo Proxy is trash for teenagers. It is not philosophical, it merely pretends to be so it can complement the show's boring aesthetics.

Lain is nice. Angel's Egg also, though it probably isn't anon's cup of tea.

>>13719131
>Ergo Proxy

Hmm let's see anon, the entire show makes references to Carl Jung, Rene Descartes, Monad(Leibniz), Monad(Gnosticism), Neoplatonism, Christian mythology, Greek mythology, Shakespeare, The Renaissance(Da Vinci, Michel Angelo), Hermesticism, The Tarot, Numerology, The Trivium, The brain hemispheres(Neuroscience), Sanskrit cosmology, Esoteric symbolism, And Much more.

How many of those things are you familiar, or have read a single bit of? Zero? Got it, you didn't understand, At All.

>>13719174
Are you one of those guys who say Evangelion is ledeep because of abrahamic symbolism? Philosophical and cultural references do not create philosophical content. If that were the case you could just have recommend Berserk or anything of the sort, which is clearly not what anon is looking for. If Ergo Proxy is o so deep "you probably didn't get it", let's see what you have got out of it. So?

>>13719210
>Are you one of those guys who say Evangelion is ledeep because of abrahamic symbolism?
No, in fact, I never watched Evangelion.
>Philosophical and cultural references do not create philosophical content.
What does it then?
> If Ergo Proxy is o so deep "you probably didn't get it", let's see what you have got out of it. So?
I was Correct when I said you haven't read any of the references and material the shows offers.
Since that's the case, tell me, what is it that you didn't understand from the show, any specific question is valid, I'll try to answer it.
What is it that you didn't get from the show?

>>13719252
How exactly is Neoplatonism relevant to the show and what its trying to say?

>he doesn’t think Evangelion is deep

>>13719252
>What does it then?
The exploration of themes, not the mentioning or allusion of them. That is, the author's commentary on certain philosophical subjects and the meaning they have in the context of the narrative and characters presented.
>I was Correct when I said you haven't read any of the references and material the shows offers.
You weren't, you moron. I didn't respond to your retard assumptions because I'm making an argument, not defending my ego. You can think whateaver the fuck you want, it doesn't make your animu less shit.
>What is it that you didn't get from the show?
There is nothing I didn't get from Satou Dai's intentions as far as I'm concerned. You are yet to make a point instead of assumptions and projections. It really shows that you have nothing to say when all you do is underplaying the person you're talking to.

Dubs of Dharma

>>13719273
Is well known the show is filled with Gnostic references, and because of that, it ultimately borrows Neoplatonism, since Gnosticism borrowed elements from Neoplatonism.
The most obvious one is the concept of Monad/Nous(The Microcosm), at the beginning of the show we see a Poem of Michelangelo who also was a Neoplatonist and was part of the Platonic Academy (Florence).
We also see how the necklace of the protagonist has the number One.
Saying what is trying to say alone is difficult when you do not include all the other elements of the show, but pretty much is the Thoughts, Emotions and Actions(The One, the Spirit, The Soul) or Trivium. And that is personified as the protagonists of the show.

>>13719323
>The exploration of themes
Already done in the show.
>You weren't
You have no idea of any of the references I told you, thus my point still stand and I'm Correct.

As I said more than once before, references and allusions are not philosophical content. You are yet to touch on this point. Still waiting for you to say what you have got out of the show too.

>>13719533
>Carl Jung, Rene Descartes, Monad(Leibniz), Monad(Gnosticism), Neoplatonism, Christian mythology, Greek mythology, Shakespeare, The Renaissance(Da Vinci, Michel Angelo), Hermesticism, The Tarot, Numerology, The Trivium, The brain hemispheres(Neuroscience), Sanskrit cosmology, Esoteric symbolism, And Much more.

Unsure if elaborate bait or if you're just retarded. Yes, I'm familiar with Jung, Descartes, neoplatonism, christian and greek mythology, tarot, and specially the renaissance, since it's one of the things that I study. Is that the ego answer, completely irrelevant to the discussion, that you wanted? I'll refrain from this debate until you stop refusing to explain what you got out of the show.

All you had to do was ask a question, in relation to the show. If you are so "familiar" with those themes.
But I'm seems is easier to just say the show is "trash" and not elaborate any further, right? Since you understood it completely, am I right?

>>13719602
I'm human too.

>>13719618
I've elaborated enough. It's your turn to either address my points or fuck off.

>>13719631

Aha. Sure. Calm down.

>>13719592
My bad. Haven't watched yet so can't say much more, but the point still stands. In my experience anime (and fiction in general) is peak continental philosophy; it gets intellectual clout with lots of allusions but without argumentation or real engagement.

Plato, Aristotle, Ockham, Butler.

>>13719642
>In my experience anime (and fiction in general) is peak continental philosophy; it gets intellectual clout with lots of allusions but without argumentation or real engagement.
That's true, but that's not to diminish their value. It's just that, from a narrative standpoint, themes are the lowest priority in terms of the mass audience's interests. It's not viable - specially for animation - to make compromises that would stray the work further from financial viability. They still can be enjoyable and provide intetesting questions, however. Nothing beats philosophy books in terms of philosophy, naturally, it's just that it feels nice to see that the author cares about what he's inserting in the narrative.

>>13719623
You claim that you know these people when you don't even know their names?

>>13719749
Michelangelo, Miguel Angel, Michel Angelo, Miguel Angelo. I know spanish, is merely an easy twist to me.

>>13719768
It's Michelangelo, what the fuck are you talking about?

You probably know one language, you wouldn't understand.

>>13713023
Kant leads to the good ending

>>13719670
It seems like it does diminish their intellectual value. And I seems like it's bad for a fictional work to front as more intellectual than it is.
Nothing wrong with a show being created primarily for popular entertainment value. But if the intellectual elements are there only to make it more entertaining, then it's just pseudo-intellectual.
Seems to me a good work of popular fiction should stick to saying something simple and obviously true.

Science and philosophy are the antithesis and thesis of knowledge in the Fichtean sense. Only via synthesis can be truly ascend as human beings; the subjects are complementary and necessitate each other.

The most difficult philosophers to combat when attempting to enter the realm of philosophical, intellectual rigor are Aristotle and Kant: Aristotle as one's typical attempt to refute him ends with a reformulation of his work and Kant because his rigor and depth are unparalleled to this day

Basically, everyone in the show suffered so much because they desired instrumentality instead of actually connecting with each other, and instrumentality fails to address the fundamental problems each of the characters have by making it impossible for them to attain the acceptance that they wanted, which is only possible through connection

>>13721160
Not correct, only as the recognition he has no other choices available to him. Individuation and the pleroma repel Shinji simultaneously. That's why he cries at the end: the high of his newfound, post-instrumentality commitment to life evaporates as soon as he's back in his body.

The final boss is God. And you submit having realized this mercy

nah, I'm not the anon you think. I really hate NGE, and I get annoyed by people who think it had anything "deep" or interesting to say.

Many people don't like EoE because it explicitly says that collectivism is death. That fact has always amused me much. Frankly I don't know of much else that says this and I'd love to be proven wrong.

>>13718930
>I suppose all the references to the Dead Sea Scrolls were completely accidental?
Accidental, no. But not meaningful either.
Show's director explicitly said he included those references because they sounded rad. And there's nothing wrong with that.

>>13713909
Camus is more like the tutorial boss of philosophy. The final boss his is true form: nihilism.

>>13723716
>Frankly I don't know of much else that says this and I'd love to be proven wrong.
Literally everyone of relevance in the history of philosophy, excluding pseuds like hegel or manes of course. For writers that spend autistic amount on the subject you have Augustine, Duns Scot, Leibniz.

Markus Gabriel is probably the greatest living philosopher that had his breakthrough.

That's not Luciano Floridi, you sure you didn't make a typo, Anon?

>>13712961
Science subsumes too small a subset of philosophy to be a final hurdle, a true final hurdle to any topic is one which encompasses the entire set of concepts and amalgamates them into a single essence, a pure actualisation.

It's obviously The Hungry Caterpillar.

Ayn Rand is an individualist twat who's books are classic anti-commy dystopian garbage. Btw, the odds are she didnt write her own novels, and she really wasnt a philoso... this is bait isnt it

The true final boss

>>13712887
Plato. He comes across as your friendly guide in the tutorial area at the beginning, but in the final level he reveals himself as having been pulling all the strings of philosophy all along, and is thus the final boss.

>>13713935

>>13713909
honestly he's like the tutorial boss / side character that is revealed to be the final boss from the start in some weird plottwist

>>13713010
Good now hurry up and do that with /lit/ butterfly!

The final boss is realising that the world is a constant tussle between the Apollonian and Dionysian, and always has been.

None have been more eloquent in expressing this to the layman than Nietzsche, but that in itself doesn't make ''him'' the final boss, merely the clarion call of such metaphysical realities.

>>13712887
Nihilism...

I would say you should read a book on neuroscience, or on logic, given that some of those statements are contradictory.
But I unironically think you should seek help for your mental problems.
