Between Titans and Humans: Freedom and Anarchy in Attack on Titan; A Philosophical Approach.

Abstract

The philosophical argument found in the anime "Attack on Titan" adapted from Hayime Isayama's manga, revolves around individual responsibility and freedom. Eren Jaeger, viewed through the lens of Jean-Paul Sartre, unveils an existential questioning about the weight of responsibility in the exercise of freedom. On the other hand, from Emma Goldman's point of view, Eren embodies anarchism as a path to liberate oneself from the chains of the State. In conclusion, the complexity of the narrative and its philosophical significance stand out, leading to a critical analysis of the human condition.
