Apocalypse and the history of being

Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback(Södertörn University)

pp. 191-210

Abstract

Departing from a reading of the Black Notes‚ I will present and discuss Heidegger's apocalyptical vision at the basis of his concept of the History of Being. I will follow his figuration of the end as endless end and its relation to the thoughts of the other beginning as the main point in his conflictive relation to theology and Christianity and compare to his later thoughts on the end, presented in the later essay about the end of philosophy and the task of thinking. This discussion about the Apocalypse of Heidegger is in my view an important path to understand both his Anti-Semitism and anti-Christianism.
