Chronos and kairos of hope

Platovnjak, Ivan (author), Svetelj, Tone (author)

Hope finds its place in moments of negativity as a glimpse beyond the things themselves towards the things to come. Hope is based on a structure of vision that suddenly allows us to see the invisible and the unapparent beautiful in a way that goes beyond chronological time. Even though it refers us to eschatology, this vision of hope exists only in the present time rooted in waiting and should be as such the transforming force of daily life. By referring to Plato, Heidegger, the Old and New Testament, and some ecclesiastical documents, this article presents Chronos and Kairos of hope.

Abstract

Upanje v negativnih trenutkih je kot bežen pogled, ki gre onkraj stvari samih v smeri stvari, ki prihajajo. Upanje temelji na strukturi vizije, ki nam nenadoma dopusti videti nevidno in nepojavno kot čudovito na način, ki presega kronološki čas. Čeprav se navezuje na eshatologijo, ta vizija ali upanje obstaja samo v sedanjem času in je ukoreninjena v čakanju. Kot taka je tudi preobražajoča moč vsakdanjega življenja. Opirajoč se na Platona, Heideggerja, Staro in Novo zavezo in nekatere cerkvene dokumente predstavlja ta članek chronos in kairos upanja.
