Phenomenological temporalization of existing "present" and "absent"
This paper, in the form of a theoretical essay, presents the possibility of a phenomenological temporalization of the existing "present" and "absent." This dynamic is fundamentally based on phenomenological time. Our objective is to delineate and deepen this specific process. To this end, we understand the temporal categories "present" and "absent" as sensitively abstract specimens that circumvent, shape, and stimulate the temporalization of phenomenological time. However, for the sake of explanation, this is not exclusively a necessarily Husserlian temporality. On the contrary, we leave the concept of time open-ended as a possible "opening" for new interpenetrations. Our conclusions point to the fact that "presence" and "absence" in time are the only compelling force that makes it move, with two paths coexisting there – that of "presence" and that of "absence." Therefore, we see time here as a duplex (double) image.
