This text explores the profound relationship between time and activity, offering a critique of causalism, which tends to reduce action to a mere consequence of past events. The author defines true action as inherently new and irreducible to any preceding state or external cause. Historically, this capacity for initiative was attributed to divine beings or the Greek concept of the soul, viewed as an independent source of motion that does not require external stimulation. The author argues that real action is not just motion triggered by the environment but a unique phenomenon inextricably linked to the future as its primary condition; where there is no coming future, no action is possible. Consequently, the text distinguishes between three dimensions of time: the approaching future, the present as the time of active realization of the new, and a "general" time formed by the overlapping of individual presents. Ultimately, authentic time is presented not as a linear sequence but as a dynamic field essentially connected to activity.
