Abstract

Today's society is embedded in the fabric of a discourse of ancient ancestry: the positivist discourse. This nineteenth-century discourse has been superseded for a good part of philosophers today, especially since the ominous fall of the principle of verification. However, there still seem to be some traces of these tendencies. Therefore, this paper aims to present some difficulties with respect to the neopositivist and naturalist position, especially insofar as it manifests itself as incapable of giving a full account of the experience of temporality. It will also be suggested that the possibility of explaining this phenomenon becomes much more plausible if it is studied not only from phenomenology, but also from hermeneutics. Heidegger, Marion, Ricoeur, and others seem to have opened a path which, if followed in its originary principles, has the capacity to generate explanations of a different order than positivist explanations.
