We move towards an effort of shaping the future and towards an effort of comprehending the past. Our experience of time flows into a relentless stream that inexorably points towards. This entails that the way we experience time is inescapably interwoven with a necessity of giving a direction to this movement towards. Such a necessity brings to light two pivotal questions: how to describe such a relentless movement forwards? Which forces can we rely on to drive our existence towards? This research aims at pinpointing such forces and, in so doing, outlining a phenomenological picture of our multilayer experience of time.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessnatalitye lan vitalmaturityimaginationrepentancenarration"the experience of the forces underpinning our existing towardsArtykułhttps://doi.org/10.14746/eip.2017.1.3
