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.

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.

So all the philosopher except the most influential recent one have been wrong.
Ergo the most influential recent philospher is most likely wrong.
Find a flaw in this logic.

How could you feel this way about maldoror?
Its a book of sublime beauty and revelation imo,
even if you dont agree the book is still entertaining

His own person is the final boss each man must face. -- me

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.

you're forgetting Kripke

Parmenides. All other answers are embarrassing

Look at your hands.

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.

why is there still doubt in your heart?

I don’t think so, unless he has a ton of earth shattering material unpublished, or recently published.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 tried asking if self-consciousness arises from a synthesis between yourself and an other's perspective of yourself. He said that I think like a "literal cartoon".
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.

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

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.

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".

What can change the nature of man?

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.

Instrumentality is the pleroma. EoE is a rejection of the pleroma

They have no Gnostic content in the show. EoE ends as a (begrudging) affirmation of individuation and corporeity, not a rejection

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.

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.

>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.

>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.

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.

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

Those dogmatists aren't scientists, they're religious fanatics in another skin. A scientist upholds the scientific method, which is the peak expression of epistemological empiricism.

I think you’re the same user that I had an incredibly long winded conversation with like 4 months ago where I typed 3 part posts explaining how Anno presents shinji’s decision as being moral. You can’t use evangelion to say the pleroma is good because it’s inconsistent with the content of the show. 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

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.

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.

why is camus hated on lit

berserk shows the price of failure when your ambition is too high

Because he doesn't yield much to mentally jerk yourself off to.

ye you just go into ng+

yea you're right philosophy is like a shitty video game

me

Me.

Yourself.

Really good one but hard to get through the first few eps.

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

Cows are happy grazing in their fields. Pigs are happy rolling in their own shit. Happiness was never the point, friend.

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

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.

Chapter seven, verse 3.

No wonder this board never has any meaningful discussion when people are actually discussing anime

What cannot be consumed by the hungry caterpillar? Was it not Zhuangzi who said it even consumed his dreams!?

The final battle of philosophy has always been God vs nihilism

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

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.

have sex

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

Good now hurry up and do that with Yea Forums 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.

Nihilism...

uh, that's one of the foundational premises of all western thought.

wow, you know nothing of contemporary neuroscience don't you. stay golden, Yea Forums

Just when you think you got everything figured out, the rest of the world is revealed to you.

Chalmers is final boss of mind right now, for sure.

I literally minored in neuroscience, you dumb fuck, that's why I am angry.
What encourage you to come to an image-board and post about subjects you know literally nothing about?

love this

I agree with every one of these statements.

Unequivocally based and astonishingly redpilled

The Five Great Teachers.

Which book?

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.
