Preview The Time of Revolution: Kairos and Chronos in Heidegger
Description:
Revolutions in general, not only historical instances such as the French Revolution, call practical reason into question. Human beings normally live and act in accordance with the self-evident assumption that the future will mark a continuation of the order with which they are familiar. However, human action itself opens up the possibility of the new; it can open up a possible future, which will be other than the past. We do not know what this future will bring. Similarly when such new possibilities will open up is unknown. We know little concerning the contents of this future. However, we can not only know about this future, we must have such knowledge. This is because the time of such novel emergence is a decisive, critical time – a kairological time – in which a new order becomes possible, in which new possibilities for life, knowledge and the whole of human conduct open up, but it is also a time in which new misfortunes become possible. Such critical time is of philosophical interest, because it is a unique time that does not allow itself be subsumed under timeless categories.
