temporality

Introduction.The article is aimed at identifying the problematic place of temporal foundations of everyday life, formulated in the framework of phenomenological sociology. The concept of everyday life outlined by A. Schütz is based on the conceptual provisions of E. Husserl’s philosophy about the inner consciousness of time and A. Bergson, who distinguished the refl exive self and the vital unity of conscious processes.

The article is devoted to the analysis of temporal characteristics
of social identity. It is emphasized that the recognition of time of
personal existence by an individual is the most important condition
of understanding of the identity and the means of its structuring.
The person’s choice of a certain temporal vector is determined by
sociocultural factors. It shows the system of values and the type of
behavior in society and after all the specificity of a certain cultural model.

In article the reality in which there is no «present» in every sense of this word is investigated: and in direct and figurative; in literal and metaphorical; in physical and metaphysical. The time doesn’t pass from the past to the present and the future, but makes jumps from the past in the future and from the future in the past, jumping over the present. It follows from this that there is a gradation of ways to be, always advancing our being. Also there is a gradation of ways to be, always late in relation to our being.
