“The philosophical I is not the man, not the human body or the human soul of which psychology treats, but the metaphysical subject, the limit -not a part of the world.[...]If by eternity is understood not endless temporal duration but timelessness, then he lives eternally who lives in the present.”
“If by eternity is understood not endless temporal duration but timelessness, then he lives eternally who lives in the present.”
