The imaginary of the relationship between time and humanity, in the Judeo-Christian civilization, unfolds in two
large mosaics, often superimposed and contradictory, that guide visions about the world and about the role of
human beings on earth: the apocalyptic vision and the prophetic vision. In the scope of this eschatological imaginary,
we have the symbolism of absinthe that this essay intends to approach in the theopoetics of Fyodor Dostoievski,
Andrei Tarkovsky and Czeslaw Milosz. For this, we will adopt the concept of spiritual hermeneutics built from the
reflection on Martin Buber’s philosophy of dialogue.
