(Critical Junkyard) “Eschatology”

In Ecocriticism we frequently read about eschatology and eschatological history (mainly in “Chapter 5: Apocalypse”). The word itself stems from eschatos (last) and logos (word / study of) so it is the study of “The Last” or (freely translated) the study on the end of times (not to be confused with End of Days).
As such it focuses on interreligious apocalypses which is why it has such a huge influence in apocalypticism and ecocriticism.
