Messianic time in its potential climax
Abstract
The messianic temporality introduced in the Paulus thought presents a severance in time. By the interval. between chronological and final time - the messianic time - a severance in the severance of time itself is introduced. Such severance becomes the strange and positive law, as understood by Hegel, in a non-operate law levering operate of the use. Soon, an operate use amounts a review to moral and an emphasis to action, hence to ethics. In the presence of this, it becomes possible a redemption of the Nietzschean’s review to apostle Paulus. The moralist Paulus of Nietzsche opens the space to a Paulus that introduces, in the time, a space where the life catches its potency culmination. That is, living the Messiah's time requires the ability to read, in this life events, the Messiah's relentless performance, a performance that brings life to its fullest. so live the last things is to live differently the penultimate things, as St. Paul says, is living as if he did not live.
