Summary: | This paper focuses on the concept of false eschatology, as it appears in the work of Carl Schmitt, Gaston Fessard and Johan Baptist Metz. So far, no study has been done concerning the polemical concept of false eschatology. Zooming in on the concept of false eschatology, based on a progressive philosophy of history, refusing the idea of an end of time and appearing in three different models of political theology, this paper argues that eschatological imagery is essential in the construction of political theology and, moreover that, a false eschatology might be responsible for false political theologies. Through the mediation of the Hegelian Aufhebung, secularization is to be understood as a dialectic process, who immanentizes the eschaton in different political theologies. While the three authors agree concerning the meaning of secularization, they disagree concerning eschatological imagery and these differences may explain different political theologies. |
