Sažetak

Joseph Roth’s essay "The Antichrist" (1934) is a blend of conservative
cultural criticism and progressive values, typical of its period. What makes
his insights distinctive is the combination of discontent with capitalism and
technological civilization with a media critique emphasizing metaphysical and existential yearnings: the obsession with eternity, media production
of a second world of shadows, replacement of God by man – an act that
irreversibly destroys the godlike features of a being created in God’s image. By advancing this diagnosis in a text which is unusually theoretical in comparison to his other writings, Roth participates in contemporary
debates on virtuality and the simulacrum.
