Zur Gegenwartserfahrung im professionellen Gespräch: Skizze einer temporalen Auslegung

Abstract

Starting from an excellent conversational experience, of which we say that we are "all ears", we will discuss the distinguishing feature of this experience with regard to the time dimension of the present. It could be that social work here works in an experiential dimension that cannot be sufficiently understood within the prevailing interpretation of time, i.e., formulated as a thesis that the usual understanding of time obscures what the practice carries and grounds social work. Following phenomenological thinking, therefore, the attempt is sketchily made, contrary to the Aristotelian tradition, to prepare a more original interpretation of time, which is immanent in social work as an emancipatory practice in a frequently hidden way.

Keywords: time, present, nothing, letting be
