Apocalypse originates in the ancient Greek word apocalypsis, which means to uncover what you could not see before—to reveal. The biblical use of the word “apocalypse” means that which is revealed by divine intervention. For purposes of this paper I will adhere to the ancient Greek meaning which can be stated as simply taking note of that which has been overlooked. One thing that has not been overlooked is how European history is riddled with violence over religious beliefs. The modern response has been to diminish religious relevance. But that was followed by unparalleled nationalistic violence in the 20th century. Today, 21st Century Europe remains embroiled in religious conflicts despite its best efforts to avoid them. In the hope of pursuing a more promising path to peaceful existence, I offer some overlooked biblical and secular observations about the human condition. Modernity originates with Western culture; and that culture is overwritten with Christendom. To re-think the human condition begins with re-thinking the biblical. But to that there is resistance. Europe has turned Christendom into a relic. It has turned away from entanglement in conflicts over dogma and moral certainty by embracing the materiality of an endless progress regulated by the modern equivalent to spirituality found in an enforcing of liberal Democracy. The belief in the endless amelioration of human conditions that is imbedded in the word “progress” has no last things or end time. Instead, progress is about endless change. Its relationship to eschatology seems clear enough: the eschatological tribute to last things has given rise to the modern answer of endless offerings through progress. But progress presupposes knowledge of human http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/8142-286-4.39","PeriodicalId":227308,"journal":{"name":"What’s New in the New Europe?

In the same part of the Ethics, Spinoza also introduces the concept of conatus: “Each thing, as far as it can by its own power, strives to persevere in its being” (E3P6), Spinoza says. One will immediately understand this concept of conatus as the core concept of his mechanistic theory of the affects, the concept without which this mechanistic account of the affects would be impossible. However, in the second part of the Ethics, there is another concept that could have accomplished that same goal, namely, the principle of inertia. In the words of Spinoza, “A body which moves or is at rest must be determined to motion or rest by another body, which has also been determined to motion or rest by another, and that again by another, and so on, to infinity” (E2L3). Interestingly enough, in the philosophy of Hobbes, the concept of endeavour/conatus is much nearer to the Spinozistic principle of inertia in its meaning than it is to the Spinozistic version of the conatus. However, Hobbes is still able to construct a deeply mechanistic theory of the affects with this concept, and one may think that Spinoza should have been too. In this paper, I aim to address the question of why Spinoza has decided to use the concept of conatus rather than the principle of inertia to achieve his goal of constructing a mechanistic theory of the affects. I will then argue that for this","PeriodicalId":227308,"journal":{"name":"What’s New in the New Europe?
