Postmodernity in the light of the orthodox eschatological theology

The problem we intend to tackle in our work, claims its importance precisely in the thematic antinomy of this approach, conferred by the paradox of analyzing the present through the future. However, we consider that it is much more truthful to carry out an investigation of the present state of humanity from the perspective of its ultimate, meta-historical purpose. The premises from which we start in our research are constituted by certain obvious signals coming from the present state of humanity and which indicate three aspects: 1) reversing the hierarchy of values or the high degree of revitalization and contestation of the vertical axis of the apodictic sense and rationality of the world; 2) the predilection of the contemporary man for the immanent and the acute weakening of the taste for the transcendent; 3) the crisis of identity of the person on vertically and on horizontally lines. This project aims to achieve major objectives. One of these is to investigate the extent to which the contemporary world still retains the principle of sense in its evolution, and what is its optics on sense.
