Time and Narrative - Paul Ricoeur

"The world unfolded by every narrative work is always a temporal world. Time becomes human time to the extent that it is organized after the manner of a narrative; narrative, in turn, is meaningful to the extent that it portrays the features of temporal experience." -Paul Ricoeur, Time and Narrative

We measure time as it passes praetereuntia - [to mention without mentioning] As we see, it is the term passing away.

  • -where is it coming from?
  • -what is it passing through?
  • -where is it going?
