L’ « apocalypse » donne-t-elle à penser aux philosophes ?

Jean Greisch
p. 531-549

Abstracts

Even if the notions of “apocalypse” or “end of the world” sound foreign to the philosophical vocabulary, analysing the various connotations of those phrases in the myths and in literature shows how much they are questions that regularly crop up in a new way for the philosophers. Those questions are aimed –as the article wishes to suggest it– at the questions of evil and death –death of man as well as death of God in Nietzsche’s analyses– and equally at the scientific theories of the evolution of the universe. Thus the hope that lies in the last word of the Book of Revelation “come” sounds like a call to interpretation and to thinking.
