PASSAGE TO ESCHATOLOGY

The basic figure of deontology is the creative solution to an antinomy  - rising above an impossibility by means of the union of reason and intuition.  The passage from deontology to eschatology comes with thought of the highest  antinomy (as opposed to all of the ordinary antinomies that we personally and collectively face day to day).  The highest antinomy can be conceived as that between spirit and matter as such, and it can be approached as a vision of the permanent subjugation of evil by the good.
