Don't immanentize the eschaton!
So when you look at the eschaton what you see, strangely enough, is your own face.
Eschaton comes from the Greek word 'echatos', which just means the end.
Language, thought, analysis, art, dance, poetry, mythmaking: these are the things that point the way toward the realm of the eschaton.
The problem of an eidos in history, hence, arises only when a Christian transcendental fulfillment becomes immanentized. Such an immanentist hypostasis of the eschaton, however, is a theoretical fallacy.
