Abstract

Does the temporal fragmentarism that runs counter to the constitution imply the non-reality of time? It is possible to take up the problem of unreality from the contradiction of temporal fragments. Time is not only indexical, equivalent to that which changes, it is also and perhaps incoherent. It's a new path to profound unreality.
