Вневременность субъекта

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of time and the property of the subject to leave time. In temporal existence, the subject moves together with surrounding things in the same stream of time. However, within itself the subject emerges into a transcendental quasi-space. He builds it himself in his mental world. The layer of immanence (in the temporal sense of the word) does not allow for understanding, does not allow for real thinking. A conversation in terms of immanence can only develop according to the “stimulus-response” type, without a plan and without addressing one’s own idea of truth, since truth requires timelessness. The concept of “objectification” introduced by Whorf, as well as the ideas of the temporal horizon of Bergson and Husserl are considered. The second part of the article examines the timelessness of meaning. Meaning “lives” in the timeless space of meanings. The normativity of logic also has a timeless character. Even when we listen to music, we step out of time and constitute its pattern, the logic of its unfolding. The subject of music is the coagulation of time into intelligible structures. Reflection is considered as belonging to the timeless layer of consciousness. We place our thinking among timeless entities: values, assessments, goals, projects, truths. A project of thought can unfold in time, this is an intuitive type of thinking, but it can also reach universal positions. Thus the subject is dual. It belongs to two ontological regions: temporal and atemporal. The last paragraph of the article briefly discusses Losev’s theory “On the Method of Infinitesimals in Logic”, which states that the subject perceives the world through derivatives in the sense of mathematical analysis, and then performs integration in order to thus obtain an atemporal concept of a thing. In conclusion, I staate that the mechanism for escaping time is still unclear, but the exit itself has been given to us. The subject’s relationship to transcendence is the subject’s exit from time. There would be no concept of time if there were no communion with the eternal.
