metadata.value: The article raises the question of time in one specifi c aspect. Temporal problems were elaborated in the
  context of the question of eternity over a long period of medieval philosophical and theological speculation.
  In this case time is derivative if one believes that eternity exists, because in the ontological sense
  time lacks its primacy with respect to the being of God. The eternity and immutability of the Creator
  imply that the last One is only in “now”. It was concluded that the present was the initial mode of time,
  as Augustine and Thomas Aquinas have mentioned. After Heidegger the situation changed: now the
  future has such constitutive primacy as the present had before. The existence of Dasein and the structure
  of temporality have their constituents thanks to the ecstasies of the future. Heidegger’s treatment
  of the future follows from the role, which the Existenzial of care plays in fundamental ontology. Nevertheless,
  in Sartre’s theory of temporality, the future does not play so constitutive a role as it did in the
  ontology of Dasein. The Present is a co-presence: things are co-present for mind, which unites them
  by way of the synthesis of the unity of co-presence. Consciousness is a unity-center of being. It has
  definiteness as a result of the synthesis of the three temporal phases. The present is thought in meaning
  of the unity-phase of past and future, and without the present-ekstasis the absolute constitution
  of time would be impossible. This is close to the idea of “true present” that belongs to the thought of H. Sedlmayr. In the “true present” the modes of the past and the future are united. The periodic intervention
  of true time places us in true temporality.
