Abstract

Heidegger has discovered a new time: a time of our own. Time of authenticity—in, by, which authenticity is contracted. And time that is authentically, veritably, time. This paper will question the possibility of the appropriation by which a time of one's own is held together. And question whether the past and future and present of such a time are veritably past and future and present; whether an authentic existence would be really temporal.
