Abstract


After a first section in which the essential thesis of Reinhart Koselleck’s work Zeitverkürzung und Beschleunigung are synthesized, the text discusses some of its main conclusions. In the analysis is very important the reflection about the use of apocalyptic time in the Middle Ages. So, the paper criticizes the way the Christian Apocalypse is presented as profane acceleration, last consequence of secularization. The essay ends by breaking up the temporal sequence between reduction and acceleration, human action and divine action, the time of humans and the time of transcendence, which have indeed coexisted in a dialectical way.
