EL VALOR METAFÍSICO DEL PRESENTE

Resumen

The man is a temporary being, living the present in a particular way, but sometimes gets lost in mourningfor a past negative, ar in dreams ar fantasy fears about on uncertain future. Why is it so necessary to recover the metaphysical value of this, both physically-cosmological and from the existential point of view. No wonder, therefore, that the philosophical problem of time in the history of philosophy has been focused increasingly on the issue aj present, because present is the most evident and current of time. We study in this article the contributions on the present of three philosophers: Aristotle, St. Augustine and Heidegger, each with different perspectives, but with something in common: their efforts to favor with a particular stress the present. In the end we do an existential analysis of the human experience of present, gaining momentum from the ideas of those philosophers. The purpose is to show the weight and the existential priority of the present above the past and the future.
