11. Lemma body

    1. The book is devoted to the problem of time, as it was posed in philosophy and science from antiquity to the present day. The author focuses on the paradoxes of time and the internal conjugation of the concepts of time and eternity.

       The author combines a logical-theoretical analysis of the concept of time with a comparative historical analysis, showing that every major era in the development of thought has some common approaches to the study of time. Thus, in classical antiquity, time is considered in connection with the life of cosmos (Plato, Aristotle); in the Hellenistic era, it appears as a form of life for the world soul (Plotinus), and for the Church Fathers - as a form of life for the individual soul (Augustine). In the Middle Ages, the theme “time is eternity” (not alien, however, to the preceding abovementioned thinkers) comes to the fore. In modern European philosophy and science, the relativity and subjectivity of time are emphasized, which, however, has an objective basis — a duration that has not yet lost touch with eternity (Descartes, Newton, Leibnitz). Finally, in the post-metaphysical period of the XIX-XX centuries, when the spirit of secularism prevailed and the “philosophy of the process” in various forms came to the fore: evolutionism, historicism, psychologism, philosophy of life and existentialism, time is declared as the last ontological reality, losing its root in eternity. This tendency is most clearly expressed by Heidegger, the creator of the “ontology of time”.
