It begins with Husserl’s account of retention and protention, which are the capacities by which we retain the immediate past and anticipate the immediate future. This allows us to experience processes. The chapter then turns to Heidegger, according to whom the experience of process depends on a sense of what is relevant to the process. Here a different axis of temporal analysis comes into view: temporal aspect. Temporal aspect expresses the internal temporal structure of what we understand. Heidegger analyzes temporal aspects as part of his account of what he calls “originary temporality.” His analysis can be used to shed light on narrative understanding, and so, of how we understand ourselves and what we are up to.

Not only was he a spokesman and sometimes agent for a totalitarian political regime, but his philosophical writings seemed to embody the spirit of irrationalism nurtured in the nest of romanticism and existentialism. Partly this way of looking at Heidegger was shaped by untutored readings of those who were meant to have influenced him, such as Hegel and Nietzsche, and partly it was the product of the academic-political schism between so-called Analytic and so-called Continental philosophy. This divide itself was always more rhetoric than reality, not only because no unifying methodology bound together purveyors of either Continental or Analytic philosophy, but also (and this is more important for our interests here) because the distinction leaves no place for the American Pragmatists. Much of this confusion has been cleared up over the past thirty years. We have new, more sensible readings of Hegel and Nietzsche, American Pragmatism is in the midst of a serious revival, and the sometimes siege, sometimes triumphalist mentality of mainstream, Anglo-American philosophy has given way to a more nuanced receptivity to philosophy written in other languages and traditions. Inspired by all these changes, indeed significantly responsible for them, Richard Rorty has sought to bring the readers of Heidegger and the pragmatists (as well as Wittgenstein) together and align them behind a fundamental thesis that he articulates thus:
