摘　　要：This article focuses on the problem of eschatology in philosophical discourse as different to religious teachings.Though it was a rare topic in widespread philosophy,eschatology now becomes under close attention from the side of contemporary thinkers.For further installing eschatology in common philosophical discourse,we at first raise methodological questions and then offer typology of eschatological teachings.Here the main line divides cyclical eschatology in polytheistic religions from absolute eschatology in monotheism and Christianity.“Cyclical”means absence of“absolute end”but repeating process of death and proceeding of the universe.Otherwise,absolute eschatology relates to the unique development and final events of the world.Finely some contemporary eschatological observations are considered.
