The post-apocalypse and the post-history

In the modern consciousness, they keep the “classical” historicity and eschatology taking the form of post-historicity and post-apocalypticism. Such a state of historicity can be recorded in models of the consideration of the historical process and the expectation of the end of history, both in the works of modern authors and at the level of “everyday” practices that use and exploit the history and the figure of the Apocalypse. It is worth noting that modern expectations of the Apocalypse are no longer so tragic, and the historical process is built in the logic of the “end of history”. All this makes it possible to label the current situation as a situation of post-historicism and post-Apocalypse of post-information society. This article suggests both the identification of the main positions and genesis of historicism in modern concepts of history. The analysis itself is conducted not from the standpoint of the “adequacy” or “falsity” of the proposed concepts, but from the standpoint of identifying the structure and historical dimension of the author’s consciousness in the concepts to be considered. From this point of view, the concepts of the modern authors considered in the article are a reflection of the new post-historicity of the “post-informational” consciousness., The author of the article considers historicism in the works of modern thinkers J.Baudrillard and Fr. Fukuyama as examples of modern post-historicity and its differences from the “classical” historicism and eschatology. The historical concepts of Fukuyama and Baudrillard reflect the current state of historicism, which can be labeled as post-historicism, which still retains the former “nostalgia” for history, no longer fixes in modernity, despite the increasing speed of change and the growth of society into a global cluster post-industrial society, cardinal development and actors who are able to realize this development.
