Simultaneity (philosophy)
Simultaneity or simultaneity by means Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) an exchange of personal current messages, deriving from historical facts and events. This mediation applies to those who are ready to derive a personal lesson from these historical facts. It is a method in hermeneutics and exegesis . Kierkegaard gave the concept of simultaneity - omnia simul - a special theological character that is particularly important for biblical exegesis . Simultaneity thus represents a special task for consciousness. It is an achievement that is expected of the believer. It is about conveying the historical saving act of Christ so totally into the now that it is experienced and experienced as present for the believer or is taken seriously.

The concept of conception is to be named as synonymous. It seems essential that here not one-sided concept formation, i.e. thought processes, are in the foreground, but also feeling , imagination and fantasy activity as well as dream structures play an essential role. Kant also spoke of the schematism of the imagination. These abilities enable the past to be made present through the act of experience . In the French language, for example, the word représentation, according to its origin, stands for the same qualitative processes of consciousness, cf. also the internationalization of this article. Because of this more psychological than historically exact meaning, simultaneity is understood as a relativization of the purely historical .
Aesthetic awareness
According to Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900–2002) simultaneity is a property of aesthetic awareness. Aesthetic awareness is characterized by content abstraction from taste . Not only what is custom and custom in a very specific culture, but also what deviates from the preservation of the ancestral, is the subject of this awareness. Instead of the unity of taste, there is a flexible feeling of quality. The historical relativity of taste is also aware of this feeling, see also the criticism made of historicism . The requirement of simultaneity implies that the alien and the different in history are simultaneously present in oneself. Wilhelm Dilthey (1833–1911) had exactly this idea in mind when he stated : “ The interpretation [of history or a historical text] would be impossible if the expressions of life were completely foreign. It would be unnecessary if nothing was alien in them. So it lies between these two extreme opposites . "
