TIME, INTRODUCTION TO THE ONTOLOGICAL DIMENSION OF ETERNITY
TIME, INTRODUCTION TO THE ONTOLOGICAL DIMENSION OF ETERNITY

Summary/Abstract: Time is both a philosophical and a theological problem by its very nature. Philosophy reduced the time to the level of the rational, transforming it into a purely mathematical interval, defined by Kant as intuition. Phenomenology has raised the level of the perceptions of time, defining is as an abstract being, and reducing it to a permanent care that leads to death. Theology offers a much larger dimension to time, but does not break the eternity with which the time is closely connected. Time thus becomes an introduction to eternity and by no means an adversary of eternity. However, eternity also has its dimensions, there being a divine eternity and an eonic eternity, the latter being intertwined with time and being penetrated by the divine eternity.
