- Contents
- Time of the End—End of Time(s) investigates the conditions for the emergence of apocalyptic, eschatological, millennial, and chiliastic movements across time, space, cultures, and academic disciplines. The process of becoming aware of a crisis involves a tension between the actual social and political order and a prospective dissolution of this critical condition. Apocalyptic concepts stem from religious, ideological-teleological, biological, and technical backgrounds, manifesting themselves in texts, traditions, and symbolic systems. The difference between religious and secular patterns of dealing with the end of times probably is not to be found in different patterns of action, but rather in specific expectations and emotional preconditions of the protagonists that can manifest themselves in similar actions.
