Abstract

In all religions, in the medieval West as in the East, ideas about the past, the present and the future were shaped by expectations related to the End. The volumes Cultures of Eschatology explore the many ways apocalyptic thought and visions of the end intersected with the development of pre-modern religio-political communities, with social changes and with the emergence of new intellectual and literary traditions. The two volumes present a wide variety of case studies from the early Christian communities of Antiquity, through the times of the Islamic invasion and the Crusades and up to modern receptions, from the Latin West to the Byzantine Empire, from South Yemen to the Hidden Lands of Tibetan Buddhism. Examining apocalypticism, messianism and eschatology in medieval Christian, Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist communities, the contributions paint a multi-faceted picture of End-Time scenarios and provide their readers with a broad array of source material from different historical contexts. The first volume, Empires and Scriptural Authorities, examines the formation of literary and visual apocalyptic traditions, and the role they played as vehicles for defining a community's religious and political enemies. The second volume, Time, Death and Afterlife, focuses on key topics of eschatology: death, judgment, afterlife and the perception of time and its end. It also analyses modern readings and interpretations of eschatological concepts.

Abstract

This is an eye-opening exploration of a troubling phenomenon: the fast-growing belief in Muslim countries that the end of the world is at hand-and with it the ""Great Battle,"" prophesied by both Sunni and Shi`i tradition, which many believers expect will begin in the Afghan-Pakistani borderlands. Jean-Pierre Filiu uncovers the role of apocalypse in Islam over the centuries, and highlights its extraordinary resurgence in recent decades. Identifying 1979 as a decisive year in the rise of contemporary millenarian speculation, he stresses the ease with which subsequent events in the Middle East h

Abstract

Long description: In Walter Benjamins Thesen Über den Begriff der Geschichte spielt der rückwärts blickende ‚Engel der Geschichte‘ eine zentrale Rolle. Benjamin bringt in dieser Chiffre den Historischen Materialismus mit theologischen Aspekten in Verbindung. Die ‚Thesen‘, hermetisch und fragmentarisch formuliert, bedürfen der Deutung und Konkretisierung. Stefan Gandler, der ‚Frankfurter Schule‘ entstammend, verortet die ‚Thesen‘ daher zunächst in ihrem Entstehungszusammenhang während des Nationalsozialismus. Daraufhin entwickelt er eine Lesart, die, inspiriert durch den ecuadorianisch-mexikanischen Philosophen Bolivar Echeverría, auch den historischen Verhältnissen im modernen Lateinamerika Rechnung trägt. Biographical note: Stefan Gandler (1964) studierte Philosophie, Politikwissenschaften und Lateinamerikastudien an der Universität Frankfurt/M., wo er bei A. Schmidt promovierte. Seit 1993 in Mexiko ansässig, ist er Professor an der sozialwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Autonomen Universität von Querétaro (UAQ) und der philosophischen Fakultät der Nationalen Autonomen Universität von Mexiko (UNAM). Gandler ist Autor verschiedener Essays und Bücher über kritische Theorie, westlichen Marxismus und Kritik des philosophischen Eurozentrismus.

Abstract

"Hasidism on the Margin explores one of the most provocative and radical traditions of Hasidic thought, the school of lzbica and Radzin that Rabbi Gershon Henokh founded in nineteenth-century Poland. Shaul Magid traces the intellectual history of this strand of Judaism from medieval Jewish philosophy through centuries of Kabbalistic texts to the nineteenth century and into the present. He contextualizes the Hasidism of Izbica-Radzin in the larger philosophy and history of religions and provides a model for inquiry into other forms of Hasidism.

Abstract

Die Studie untersucht, welche Funktion der Rückgriff auf die messianische Tradition des Judentums bei deutsch-jüdischen Intellektuellen im ersten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts hat. Messianische Denkfiguren spielen eine wichtige Rolle im jüdischen Identitätsdiskurs. Sie werden darüber hinaus für allgemeine kulturwissenschaftliche Theoriebildungen produktiv gemacht, insbesondere für die Sprach- und Geschichtsphilosophie sowie für den theologisch-politischen Komplex. Dabei säkularisieren die berücksichtigten Autoren (Benjamin, Bloch, Broch, Buber, Landauer, Rosenzweig, Scholem) alle den jüdischen Messianismus auf die eine oder andere Weise, so dass aus dem Messias etwas "Messianisches" wird. Das heißt aber, dass man es bei den Figuren des Messianischen nicht nur mit Denkfiguren, sondern auch mit rhetorischen Figuren bzw. Tropen zu tun hat, die von verschiedenen Konstellationen von Sakralität und Säkularität in der Moderne zeugen. Spannungen zwischen Säkularem und Sakralem, aber auch zwischen kultureller Partikularität und Universalität gehören zur modernen Adaption des jüdischen Messianismus genauso wie die Möglichkeit eines dialektischen Umschlags von Kritik in Affirmation von Gewalt. This study investigates the function of the recourse to the messianic tradition of Judaism among German-Jewish intellectuals in the first third of the 20th century. Messianic figures of thought play an important role in the Jewish discourse of identity. Moreover, they are used productively in the creation of general theories in the realm of cultural studies, especially regarding the philosophy of language and history and the theological-political complex. Here, all the considered authors (Benjamin, Bloch, Broch, Buber, Landauer, Rosenzweig, Scholem) secularize Jewish Messianism in one way or another, thus transforming the Messiah into the "messianic". This also means, however, that the messianic figures of speech include not only figures of thought but also rhetorical figures of speech or tropes that reflect various constellations of sacrality and secularity in the modern era. Tension between the secular and the sacred, and also between cultural particularity and universality, forms part of the modern adaptation of Jewish Messianism, as does the possibility of a sudden dialectical critical shift to an affirmation of violence.

Abstract

"In times of crises, be it about climate change, the pandemic corona virus, or democratic struggles, there is an unwaning interest worldwide in the end of times and related themes such as apocalypticism, messianism, and utopianism. This concerns scholarship and society alike, and is by no means limited to the religious field. The present volume collates essays from specialists in the study of apocalyptic and eschatological subjects. With its interdisciplinary approach, it is designed to overcome the existing Euro-centrism and incorporate a broader perspective to the topic of end time expectations in the Christian Middle Ages as well as in East Asia and Africa"--
