Summary: | The nature of time-consciousness is one of the central themes of phenomenology, and one that all major phenomenologists have addressed at length, except Hans-Georg Gadamer. This paper attempts to develop Gadamer’s account of time-consciousness by looking, firstly, at two essays related to the topic, and then turning to his discussion of experience in Truth and Method (1960/1991) before, finally, considering his discussion of the unique temporality of the festival in the essay "The Relevance of the Beautiful" (1977/1986). What we find in Gadamer’s understanding of time is an emphasis on the epochal structure of time-consciousness. |
