Uncertainties Of The Present Time And The Recovery Of The Consciousness Of Being

Abstract

For broad sectors of society, especially the young, the present
time is experienced as a great moment of uncertainty. Uncertainty
is often covered with a shield of apparent unconcern by
those who end taking their own current present as the only
moment and space where they hope to achieve their own, unique
and exclusive expectations. The failure of the result most
often brings about the amplification of frustration. However,
in fighting this hyperrealism, the realism of History rises; realism
that assumes the unity of time (past-present-future), the
existence of a nature and a society whose consistencies are
not exhausted in the present moment. Also there is the constant
evolution of science which shows that not only culture
but also life itself and the universe have a history.

Keywords: crisis, postmodernism, realism, historical time,
consciousness, historical optimism.
