The article attempts to give a structuralist definition of eschatology as an “eschatological paradigm” – a logical structure of a synchronic-diachronic type, reducible to a system of logical invariants – homology. That formalizes the use of structural and comparative analysis of eschatological-initiatic concepts in various religious and philosophical traditions. The combination of methodological strategies united by a structural approach enabled us to speak of an interdisciplinary field of research – analytical eschatology.
