TEMPORALITY AND NOSTALGIA IN THE HERMENEUTIC LOGIC OF HISTORY
TEMPORALITY AND NOSTALGIA IN THE HERMENEUTIC LOGIC OF HISTORY

Summary/Abstract: This study analyzes essential epistemological and ontological aspects of history from the perspective of history hermeneutic logics. A special focus is set on the temporal problems of the logics of history, in particular, regarding interrelations among the moments of historical time, involving the representative and the reference, as well as the chronological core of the event and the text. The settlement of the temporal conflict between the time of an event, narration and perception appears possible using the analysis of time hermeneutic game techniques. The free movement of signs, which no longer represent any meaning, but merely reproduce historical gestures, is expressed in deconstructive logic of copies and simulacra. Within this philosophical context, the issue of nostalgia is related to the subjective experience of historical reflection. Nostalgia is regarded as a way of communicating with history by an interactive subject. The research findings show that currently the existence of mankind requires changes in its relations with the past, and a review of the cognitive methods applied to understand the past against the background of the fluctuating and dynamic horizon of senses in history.
