Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, aka The Phenomenology of Spirit

See, for a quickstart, at this analogy, you have to understant that there are two Consciousness at The Phenomenology of Spirty, one that is watching another one, and this second one is constantly passing through a lot of different processes. Here we have Kamina as the first Consciousness, and Simon as the second one.

Simon's speech on kamina's death is his aufhebung (idk the english word for this, suprassunction) on his brother. Simon here is the new Consciousness, after the aufhebung process on kamina. Both the first and the second Consciousness become some short of a 3rd one, superior but with some elements conserved. This is our Simon now, and it's now possible to move to the second part of TTGL and also to the second part of The Phenomenology of Spirit. There we will find critics against the reason, the Estate and so on.

>>154355362
I feel that, especially in regards to Marx, if you try hard enough it can apply to anything. You're over thinking this, but as a philosophy major, or someone of equivalent interest, that's what you do. Carry on, if only for your own sake.

>Hegel, installed from above, by the powers that be, as the certified Great Philosopher, was a flat-headed, insipid, nauseating, illiterate charlatan who reached the pinnacle of audacity in scribbling together and dishing up the craziest mystifying nonsense. This nonsense has been noisily proclaimed as immortal wisdom by mercenary followers and readily accepted as such by all fools, who thus joined into as perfect a chorus of admiration as had ever been heard before. The extensive field of spiritual influence with which Hegel was furnished by those in power has enabled him to achieve the intellectual corruption of an whole generation.

There's no battlecruisers in KanColle. There's battleships, fast battleships, aviation battleships, heavy cruisers, aircraft cruisers, light cruisers, torpedo cruisers, destroyers, armored aircraft carriers, standard aircraft carriers, light aircraft carriers, submarines, aircraft carrying submarines, landing ships, submarine tenders, aviation tenders, an oiler, and a repair ship. But no battlecruisers. The closest class in the game is the Kongou-class which was originally built as battlecruisers and later modernized into fast battleships, but the game treats them as fast battleships from the get-go.

>>154363460
Oh yeah and training cruisers, forgot about those sluts.

It's a good story that at some point in the production got derailed from the original plan and unable to connect with the first eps foreshadowing.

The disconnect somehow spawn convenient fan theory that then accepted by the makers as the somesort of canon.

He may have read and understood Hegel, but OPs writing ability is barely High School level. Maybe its just the abhorrent American school system, but reading OPs post was painful.

Grammar is all over the place, sentence structure is strange and there are quite a few spelling errors. OP also doesn't understand how to use punctuation.

He does sound like an ESL.

I read it as "The Phenomenology of Spiral" the entire time.

No OP, what you should be looking for is eastern philosophy. Spirals pop up there more often and in many different ways.

schopenhauer is a disgusting indirect apologist, the typical degenerate bourgeois. This guy is an irrationalist who says that the capitalism is a final stage of humanity, highlighting its barbarism not as something related to the socio-historical context but as a general existential caracteristic, inherent to human life. This is a mystical bullshit, there isnt any historical evidence of something like this. Schopenhauer is a stuppid ass who cant even understant hegel. lol

I kept this thread open just to see where it could go, but now I´m realize that I don´t even know who Hegel is

>>154390598
Then you're in good company. Always remember, according to Hegel himself, only one person ever understood his work and even that person didn't understand it correctly.

>>154390598
i'm not alone

just like Imiashi. Then he created gurren lagann

Oh shit, so the mecha piloting a bigger mecha piloting a bigger mecha that challenges god is a metaphor for the hierarchy culminating in absolute idealism?

But you didn't and that's why you are still a nobody. It's the modern art principle.

>LWA seems to be a Nietzschean masterpiece

>>154390598
Hegel is the modern father of dialectic. He inspired all of a humanists and left-wingers generation, from Max Stirner and Bruno Bauer to Marx and Bakunin, and even Marx surpassing him, both hegel and marx were vulgarizated in 20th century. Some historians and philosophers, like Lukács and the Budapest School, try to get back their method and legacy. Nowadays intellectuals like Domenico Losurdo, José Chasin and Zizek continue this job.

>>154391384
>Zizek
Endless memes

>>154391100
Exactly! The mecha piloting a bigger one being piloted by another bigger one and so on develops in a spiral sequence. This scale is a hyperbole to this movement.
You see, also is a spiral the way enemies appear in the history development.

It's completely acceptable to this hegels allegory the size of the "premecha" controlled by the another one is in comparison to the bigger one which is piloting the smaller one if you consider the aufhebung process (previous moment getting surpassed [a negation with conservation] to a further moment).
