“关系时间”语言:个体的过程、同一和流逝

“Relational Time” Language: Individual Process,Identity and Passage

时间不是绝对的实体,也不是主观的形式和约定,它是无限个体保持同一性、持续性的相续关系,又是无数个体变化和流逝的相断关系,两者共同构成了所有现实个体的"关系时间"过程。这一过程是不可逆的,循环和周期则是以"重复"发生的同一和变化。历史也是不可逆的,人们想象在遥远的过去有黄金时代并渴望历史复归,实际上是期望历史有更高程度的发展。对历史期望过高或要在人间建立天堂,往往会造成不幸甚至带来灾难。

Time is not an absolute entity,nor is it a subjective form or agreement.Instead it is the continuity of the identity and continuity of infinite individuals,and the continuity of innumerable individual changes and passages,both of which constitute the time process of all real individuals.However,this process is irreversible,cycling in the same course as"repetitions".History is also irreversible,even though people imagine a golden age in the distant past in history and yearn for its return.Actually what they expected is a higher degree of history development.Excessive expectations of history or the establishment of paradise on earth often lead to misfortune or even disaster.
