Życie człowieka jako istnienie w czasie

Abstract

The article concerns the conception of time which locates man’s cognition in the presence. What exists has the current being exclusively. Everything is irresistibly real at the point of human’s life. The very time conception is presented by recentivism (Latin recens — present) a new philosophical trend. Broadly speaking, it says that a description of a given phenomenon is possible in all tenses, but only the present tense is true. With reference to human life a conclusion can be made that human life is important “now”, and not as the means to achieve something in the future. The past is already gone whereas the future is not present yet. Only now exusts. Referiing to the past (by means of reminiscence) and to the future (by means of dreams) is a constant interruption of what we are experiencing now. In both cases we are afraid of being responsible for “now”. Recentivism says that human life is creating the presence whereas the production of “places” opened in the actual reality consists in creating the presence for empty “places” of being.
