Possible. But the reasons aren't good enough for the ministry to block royalty and high nobility. That's why I'm kinda annoyed that they didn't poke the holes in his balloon arguments.
(#32)
If I remember an explanation from earlier chapters, she doesn't believe in spirits.
Also possible. This would deny the existence of spirits and go directly against the religion, apparently the foundation of the kingdom.
I remember Anis explaining the magic stones as being "dead spirits".
It began weeks ago. The fifth episode is this week.
Wait, there's an anime of this?Anime onlies: I don't get how Euphie is the top.
Me, who's read ahead: No, you simply don't understand.
Keeping the status quo. I recently watched a video about this.
Damm really? What was the roast?
Euphie just picked apart his arguments for magicology being heresy and thus Anis was acting inappropriately as a princess, all while keeping a straight face and making him look like a fool. She took every argument he made and just turned it around and showed him the outright hypocrisy and gaslighting it was. He was basically speechless by the end of it. It was beautiful.
He got flipped like that meme of shark being flipped. He got owned by his own logic, and that's smart.
Indeed a large part of it is the theory that spirits aren't conscious, but another part is that the church and politics are so rarely ever truly separate. The nobles are nobles because of their ability to use magic and the many privileges that brings. Give the average commoner a way to use magic or benefit from magic similarly to nobles, and you inevitably will open the way to questioning what nobles actually do for the people and the kingdom, and the realization that if their ability to use magic is all that sets them apart from commoners, then why do we even have nobles anyway?
Yes there is. It's airing this season. Also, as someone who reads the LN...Euphie is definitely the top.
This right here the "issue" with magicology isn't it's philosophical underpinnings, that argument is just a flimsy justification. It's that the aristocracy has a much more precarious position than in our world. This isn't comparable to a renaissance or reformation, it's the enlightenment. The aristocracy here face the obliteration of their sole claim to power as founded in religious justifications similarly to what happened with rationalism and universal human rights in the eighteenth century and without the time, nor imagination, to create new justifications like in our world they lash out.
