When viewed in connection with his wider work on subjectivity, history, and politics, this political theology is a resource for apocalyptic thinking. In a world of climate change, inequality, oppressive gender roles, and racism, Hegel can be used to theorise the hope found in the end of that world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHistories of apocalyptic thinking draw a line connecting the medieval prophet Joachim of Fiore and Marx. This line passes through Hegel, who transforms the relationship between philosophy and theology by philosophically employing theological concepts to critique the world. Jacob Taubes provides an example of this Hegelian political theology, weaving Christianity, Judaism, and philosophy to develop an apocalypticism that is not invested in the world. Taubes awaits the end of the world knowing that apocalyptic destruction is also a form of creation. Catherine Malabou discusses this relationship between destruction and creation in terms of plasticity. Using plasticity to reformulate apocalypticism allows for a form of apocalyptic thinking that is immanent and materialist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, Hegel, Taubes, and Malabou provide the resources for thinking about why the world should end. The resulting apocalyptic pessimism is not passive, but requires an active refusal of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46768607690988,"sku":"9781350177185","price":76.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19684133482668.jpg?v=1756382463"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/thomas-lynch.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
