The present generation thinks it has found history, it thinks it is even overburdened with history. It moans about historicism – lucus a non lucendo. Something is called history which is not history at all. According to the present, because everything is dissolved into history, one must attain the supra-historical again. It is not enough that contemporary Dasein has lost itself in the present pseudo-history, it also has to use the last remainder of its temporality (i.e., of Dasein) in order entirely to steal away from time, from Dasein. And it is on this fantastical path to supra-historicity that we are supposed to find Weltanschauung. (This is the uncanniness that constitutes the time of the present.)
