Abstract

ABSTRACT This article takes a phenomenological approach to thinking about ways in which the future comes to pass without being derived from the present, i.e. without being based on our current and past objective engagements. In the first part, I look at Husserl’s idea of “protention” in order to discuss how phenomenology has conceptualized the indeterminacy of the present moment. In the second part, the Heideggerian notion of “projection” is discussed as a modification of protention. In the third part, I argue for an empty teleology of time in which our temporal engagement in the world is distinguished from our existential concern with temporal things. The basic idea of the paper is that for the future to arrive “as future” (instead of as another present), it has to happen in spite of the present, i.e. in spite of the interested stance that defines our present engagement in the world.

未来如何出现在现在的唾沫中？走向时间的“空目的论”

摘要本文采用现象学的方法来思考未来的发生方式，而不是从现在衍生出来，即不基于我们当前和过去的客观参与。在第一部分中，我考察了胡塞尔的“保护”思想，以讨论现象学是如何概念化当下的不确定性的。在第二部分中，作为保护的一种修改，讨论了海德格尔的“投影”概念。在第三部分中，我主张一种空洞的时间目的论，即我们对世界的时间参与与我们对时间事物的生存关注是不同的。这篇论文的基本思想是，为了让未来“作为未来”（而不是作为另一个现在）到来，它必须在不考虑现在的情况下发生，也就是说，不考虑定义我们目前参与世界的感兴趣的立场。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
