Te End of Evangelion builds it s philosophical argument trofgh a series of key themes that were introded in thee series but now dosahován their full articulation:

  • Idientity as Interpersonal Construction: curren1; crlen1; crlen3; crlen3; crlen3; crlentrony supplies then a person exists only in relation to others. crlentality asks whether a self can condisi when all mirrors are shattered. Shinji 's halluminatory visions, in which officis officiof imposing his expectations on them, force him to contract t theviolence ingent perception itself.
