Abstract

This paper confronts the distinction between an immanent eternity and a transcendent one with David Harvey’s concept of time-space compression, trying to show that this author, from a Nietzschean analysis of his considerations about the post-modem condition, makes use of a traditional conceptual apparatus to evaluate that condition. So we place the Harveyan concept of time-space compression in a transcendent eternity, which is still conformed to the tradition, according to our interpretation of Nietzsche.
