The author aims at delineating the concept of "ethos of transcending" in Ernesto De Martino connecting it to the theme of "apocalypses". The reference text are the materials collected in The end of the world. The essay deals with the tension between "presence" and "loss of presence": in this regard the distinction between psychopathological apocalypses and cultural-oriented apocalypses becomes fundamental to clarify this tension typical of ethos. After all, our analysis is based on the search for a lay and positive possible apocalypse, bringing about a new escaton in order to open up the future to an authentic intersubjectivity of every singularity.
Keywords: Apocalypses, crisis, ethos, presence, singularity, world.
