Reseña del libro "Jetzt: Grundlegung Einer Anthropologischen Theorie Historischer Zeit (en Alemán)"
In recent historiography, the separation of historical from natural time, layers of time, proper times ("Eigenzeiten"), temporalization, simultaneity of the non-simultaneous form the constitutive terminology. In view of this, works by Koselleck, Lepenies, Luhmann and Holscher as well as their predecessors Herder, Pinder, Lovejoy and Braudel are examined. The critique demonstrates the confusion of directed time and progress, of progress and history, rendering time and history interchangeable. The separation of natural and historical time is contrasted with their interrelation, the unity and universality of time is juxtaposed with "Eigenzeiten" and layers of time. "Verzeitlichung" is replaced by "Vergeschichtlichung", which concerns the transformation of natural history (historia naturalis) into the history of nature and the conversion of human history to the principle of progress, on which the formula of the simultaneity of the non-simultaneous is also based. This counter-design has its center in the now and in simultaneity, these being the fundamental time experiences of man.
