The Last God

The last god is not the end; the last god is the other beginning of the immeasurable possibilities of our history.

~ Martin Heidegger, Contributions, 326.



It follows, then, that with each new beginning we signal the passing by of the last god.



The moment of decision, the Hour of Judgment, is not reached at the end of a line, nor by a predestined cycle of cosmic recurrence; eschatology can break out at any moment.

~ Norman O. Brown, "The Apocalypse of Islam."
