Whiteheadians seem able to imagine such ecstatically spanned unities - across - time
on the so - called «
microscopic»
scale of the «specious present,» but give up
on the idea as the scope of the temporal disclosure space is widened to the
scale of human lifetime and of generations.7 But worse than this from the point of view of Heidegger's temporal problematic, by submitting the ecstatic unities of their «specious presents» to the before / after ordering and metric properties of linear time, at least in terms of their mutually external relations and arrangements, they give back ontologically every advantage they gained from the use of an cc - static - temporal disclosure horizon in the first
place, even though it was only the single horizon of presence.
