Hacia una hermenéutica de la escatología de nuestro tiempo

As a result of modern consciousness, postmodernism has reached the ultimate phase in the secularization process. Postmodernism is basically the antithesis of the modern project; indeed, it calls itself an anti-project. Among the multiplicity of issues involving the discussion of postmodernism, this paper tries to analyze the process of secularization of modern consciousness, which results—due to the strong pantheist overtones of postmodernism—in a religion which suits globalization and the desires and wishes characteristic of contemporary society. Thus, the eschatology of this last period in human history features strong neopantheist and immanent overtones; a fitting eschatology for a pseudo-religion which suits the aims of contemporary globalization.
