A comparative study of the diverse versions of the eschatological myth of the monotheist religions of West Asia, on one side, & the political theory & philosophy of history of Karl Marx's thinking, on the other. The thematic & structural similitaries between the two discourses -- the ancient religious & the modern revolutionary -- are defined. Leonard P. Wessell's interpretation of Marx's theory is outlined. In his eyes, Marx's discourse is situated within the mythological tradition of Western culture. Adapted from the source document.

Presents a philosophical analysis of the activity of day-to-day real-life experience, drawing on the approaches of several philosophers who have addressed the problems of the value of experience in the world, including Walter Benjamin, Theodor W. Adorno, G. W. F. Hegel, & M. Heidegger. In a comparative analysis that oscillates between differences & similarities of these philosophers, an attempt is made to unthread today's meaning of experience, or to determine whether it is declining or has been, tragically & without remedy, destroyed by wars & the technological horrors of modernity.
