L’ÉTERNEL RETOUR ET LA NAISSANCE DU TEMPS :ELIADE ET SCHELLING
ETERNAL RETURN AND THE BIRTH OF TIME: ELIADE AND SCHELLING

Summary/Abstract: Eternal Return and the Birth of Time: Eliade and Schelling. The reading focused on the comparison between the philosophies of time in the conceptions of Eliade and Schelling, taking into consideration Eliade's Myth of the Eternal Return, as well as his novel the Forbidden Forest and Schelling's lectures from the 1820s. It is a question of confronting the value of temporalities, real or unreal. It appears that even the time judged real by Eliade was considered unreal according to Schelling's criteria. A distinction must be made between the absence of time (A), a time that passes in a homogenous manner (A+A+A) and, finally, a real time (A+B+C) that introduces heterogeneity through the self-positioning of a present (the B of a decisive moment), which relegates A into the past.
