Abstract [eng] The Master ‘s thesis examines how Alexandre Kojève's concept of "post-historical condition" relates to Günther Anders' and Jean-Pierre Dupuy's philosophy of apocalypse, emphasizing the notion of apocalypse blindness. This concept, encompassing moral, political, technological, and emotional dimensions, reveals humanity's inability to respond to the dangers of secular apocalypse. The aim of the work is to reconstruct the philosophy of apocalypse and demonstrate that "blindness to the apocalypse" is closely tied to the post-historical condition. The thesis argues that moral thoughtlessness, technological Prometheanism, political stagnation, and emotional detachment foster humanity's inertia and lack of responsibility. Drawing on the ideas of Anders and Dupuy, the thesis reveals how the end of history and the end of times become parallel processes, while politics loses its role in addressing existential threats.
