Dimensions Of Space

This chapter is the first of this book to deal specifically with the metaphysics of time. This chapter defends the pure manifold theory of time. On this view, time is just another dimension of extent like the three dimensions of space, the past, present, and future are equally real, and the world is at bottom tenseless. What is true is eternally true. For example, it is now true that there will be a sea fight tomorrow or that there will not be a sea fight tomorrow. It is argued that the pure manifold theory does not entail fatalism and that contingent statements about the future do not imply that only the past and present exist.

This concluding chapter poses the question of whether or not we have too much past and too little future. After all, the notion of the past has dramatically increased in its range of meanings, as has the future. The relation between the past, the present, and the future is a three-fold relationship in which one dimension cannot exist for long without the others. Ordering this three-fold temporal structure anew and bringing the three dimensions into a balanced relation, however, continues to be an open adventure. To be sure, it is also the greatest challenge posed by the demise of the modern time regime.

The Relationship

ResumenEl siguiente trabajo se propone analizar la relación entre la ética discursiva y la historia, a partir de la reconstrucción realizada por Karl-Otto Apel en las Mercier Lectures de 1999 (Lovaina). Se intentará mostrar cómo la ética discursiva se encuentra entrelazada con las tres dimensiones del tiempo histórico. La relación con el pasado apunta al posicionamiento respecto de la situación moral e institucional “heredada” por la tradición (eticidad sustancial). La relación con el presente se refiere a la “situación humana”, entendida esta como un proceso evolutivo-cultural (desde la hominizaciónhasta el presente) y como un “momento” o situación particular dentro de ese proceso. Finalmente, la relación con el futuro alude a la capacidad de la ética de orientar la historia humana hacia un horizonte normativo, en tanto ideal regulativo.Palabras clave: antropología - institucionalización - filosofía prácticaAbstractThis work aims to analyze the relationship between discursive ethics and history, based on the reconstruction by Karl-Otto Apel in the 1999 in Mercier Lectures (Leuven). It attempts to show how discursive ethics is intertwined with the three dimensions of historical time. The relation- ship with the past points to the positioning regarding the moral and institutional situation “inherited” by tradition (substantial ethics). The relationship with the present refers to the “human situation”, understood as an evolutionary-cultural process (from hominization to the present) and as a “moment” or particular situation within that process. Finally, the relationship with the future alludes to the ability of ethics to guide human history towards a normative horizon, as a regulative ideal.Keywords: Anthropology - institutionalization - practical philosophyResumoO seguinte artigo propõe analisar a relação entre a ética do discurso e história, desde a reconstrução realizada por Karl-Otto Apel nas Mercier Lectures de 1999 (Lovaina).

The article is a discussion of a study by Rafał Pokrywka titled Współczesna powieść niemieckojęzyczna (Kraków 2018). The author of the study analysed selected works written at the turn of the 21st century, and – in an interesting manner – developed his discussion around a progression of three dimensions of time: the past, the present, and the future, which constitute the contexts for reading individual narratives. The interpretations of German, Austrian, and Swiss novels, both these which exist as Polish translations and these which have not yet been translated, are accompanied by cultural and sociological contexts, while the (re)definitions of the words used in the title of Pokrywka’s volume presented in the introduction enable one to place this original overview in the context of modern studies on the most recent literature.

The aim of this work settles on describing, through the fenomenological methodology, the structure and dinamics of the moral conscience and its function in the educational process. The moral conscience, equally than the epistemologica! moral, is endowed of a temporary structure. Time, through its three dimensions (past, present, and future) allows the dialectics of the moral conscience. In the past the values are settled, in the present takes place the hermeneutics of reality, and in the future make an irruption the duty and the project. In the second part of this article, the author gets the moral conscience with the educational conscience together (in touch). Both are not identic, one cannot be reduced to the other. The main (basic) diference settles on the «technical question (matter)». Hence the educational conscience does not limit itself; like the moral one, to a hermeneutics of the present, but moreover it provokes and endeavours an «intervention» of the present, that is to say, a modification of the world.

Across cultures, people frequently communicate about time in terms of space. English speakers in the United States, for example, might “look forward” to the future or gesture toward the left when talking about the past. As shown by these examples, different dimensions of space are used to represent different temporal concepts. Here, we explored how cultural factors and individual differences shape the development of two types of spatiotemporal representations in 6- to 15-year-old children: the horizontal/vertical mental timeline (in which past and future events are placed on a horizontal or vertical line that is external to the body) and the sagittal mental timeline (in which events are placed on a line that runs through the front-back axis of the body). We tested children in India because the prevalence of both horizontal and vertical calendars there provided a unique opportunity to investigate how calendar orientation and writing direction might each influence the development of the horizontal/vertical mental timeline. Our results suggest that the horizontal/vertical mental timeline and the sagittal mental timeline are constructed in parallel throughout childhood and become increasingly aligned with culturally-conventional orientations. Additionally, we show that experience with calendars may influence the orientation of children’s horizontal/vertical mental timelines, and that individual differences in children’s attitudes toward the past and future may influence the orientation of their sagittal mental timelines. Taken together, our results demonstrate that children are sensitive to both cultural and personal factors when building mental models of time.
