temporality

Etymology

temporal + -ity, from Latin temporalitas.

noun

  1. The condition of being bounded in time (of being temporal).
    "This means 'that all temporality points beyond itself' (Hart 1973, 32)." 1996, Douwe Tiemersma, Henk Oosterling, Time and Temporality in Intercultural Perspective
    [1927], 2000 Martin Heidegger Being and Timehttp://books.google.com/books?ie=UTF-8&hl=en&id=9oc2BnZMCZgC&pg=PA302&lpg=PA302&dq=temporality&prev=http://books.google.com/books%3Fq%3Dtemporality&sig=_AHDrBvcln9-ZTvV9JKNgDGazRY Temporality makes possible the unity of existence, facticity, and falling prey and thus constitutes primordially the totallity of the structure of care. Temporality "is" not a being at all. It is not, but rather temporalizes itself. Nevertheless, we still cannot avoid saying that "temporality 'is' the meaning of care," "temporality 'is' determined thus and so."
