The object of the research is eschatology in historical and philosophical contexts. The purpose of the dissertation is the historical and philosophical conceptualization of the eschatology of the Fate as a cultural universal of the Western philosophical paradigm through the disclosure of its content levels and the discovery of invariant philosophical meanings. The analysis methods are post-structuralist, The methodological research program has a complex interdisciplinary character, combining the following main strategies: the history of ideas, analysis, comparativity, phenomenology, philosophical and cultural hermeneutics. The heuristic potential of historical, cultural, philosophical and religious studies of the eschatology of Fate beyond the narrow theological approach has been proved. Scientific novelty of the obtained results is revealed in the following provisions: for the first time - the semantic dynamics of the concept of "eschatology of the Fate" in the historical-philosophical and intellectual space of the western paradigm of culture are researched. On this basis, a three-dimensional analytical model for comprehension of the eschatology of Fate (individual soul and general - humanity and the universe of spiritual and physical) is proposed: "How it is" ("how it was formed") - the basic level of existence of eschatology (sources and history of formation, conceptual foundations, their internal content). The eschatological matrixes in the history of Western philosophy have been reconstructed. The concept of the Fate in the history of cultures, "fixed" in the definitions, as well as its immanent dimension (philosophical, esoteric, religious and scientific eschatological pictures of the world) are revealed. The eschatology of Fate "as it is manifested" is the representation of historically formed, that is, existing worldview models (cyclic, linear, "together"), and the reconstruction of their key ideas in specific historical eschatological "maps", in the socio-cultural space, as well as at the level of the individual world outlook as an "instrument" for the existence and restoration of religious and secular ideology, as a "mechanism" for the formation and development of "integral" consciousness (spiritually developed personality). The structure of eschatology as a certain ideological scheme (system of ideas) is revealed, its internal essential form is comprehended in each case separately (historical-philosophical and philosophical-religious traditions), its basic ideas, which are characteristic for the majority of intellectual communities, are isolated and systematized; the historical-philosophical concept "eschatology of the Fate" was developed, its heuristic (world-view) value was substantiated; The eschatology of Fate is considered as a world-view matrix in the category of ideal ("proper") - "which should be" (idealized, measuring the universalization of the eschatology of the Fate and its interpretations), presented as an "eternal mechanism" of renewal of the idea of eternal life, the revival of spirituality ("culture of spirit" and Western European as a universal "instrument" of integration (modernity, history) of philosophical and religious consciousness, the general matrix of their existence. The vector of modification of the concepts of Fate in the historical and philosophical, philosophical and religious eschatological systems of the world, as well as certain types of representations of eschatological pictures of secular (philosophical, scientific, cultural) direction, socio-cultural connotations (complex structure of interconnected contexts) are analyzed. The specifics of historical-philosophical, theological, theosophical, religious-philosophical and scientific representations of the fate of eschatology, that is, "as it is actualized", its variations (modes of existence) in the civilization dimension of cultures is found out. The author's concept "Eschatology of the Fate", an extensive conceptual apparatus, which allowed the presentation of the interpretation possibilities of the eschatology of the Fate, was proposed and developed. The main semantic assemblies were made up of the "hermeneutic circle" of its concepts: "beginning", "end", "eternity", "time", "world", "life" (life path of the soul, human being), "death", "Judgment" ("law", "punishment", "sentence"), "existence" (history and dimensions of earthly and heavenly reality), "circle", "immortality", "resurrection", "salvation". The latter form a system of coordinates for the deployment of the idea of Fate (eschatology), allowed to expand the dimensions of its semantic creation, to lay the foundation for building its own philosophical position (interpretation of the eschatology of the Fate), to form multidirectional world-view vectors in the understanding of man, his place and role in the universe. Sphere is the educational process.
