Resumo

Abstract

Karl Löwith challenges the very foundations of the modern age with his thesis of secularization: the derivation of modern philosophies of history, with their celebration of progress, from Christianity. There are hidden theological presuppositions of modern historical consciousness, as exemplified by the thinkers of the 18th and 19th centuries. In other words, the secularization thesis reduces the modern age to a disguised version of Christian eschatology. Blumenberg’s outstanding work, The Legitimacy of the Modern Age, stands up to the underlying presuppositions of Löwith’s thesis. He introduces the concept of “secularization by eschatology” instead of “secularization of eschatology”.
