Dictionary of the History of Ideas | ||
The Concept. Eschatology, or “the doctrine of last
things,” is today often employed as a comprehensive
term for all religious ideas of the afterlife. In the fol-
lowing, however, we shall employ the concept Escha-
tology in its original sense: eschatology describes and
explains the goal and ultimate destiny of human his-
tory. Eschatology thus presupposes a unique linear flow
of history from the beginning to the end of temporal
history.
