| Simultaneity: Simultaneity in philosophy does not only mean that two events take place at the same time, but rather that different levels of time come together in an act of understanding and create a deeper connection between past, present and future. Simultaneity consists in the fact that we always understand a text against the background of its history of impact, i.e. against the background of the interpretations that others have already made before us._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Hans-Georg Gadamer on Simultaneity - Dictionary of Arguments
I 132 Simultaneity/Artwork/Work of Art/Representation/Gadamer: (...) the being of the work of art is subject to simultaneity. It constitutes the essence of it. It is not the simultaneity of the aesthetic consciousness. For this simultaneity means the simultaneity and the indifference of different aesthetic objects of experience in one consciousness. On the other hand, what we mean here is that a single object that presents itself to us, however distant its origin, gains full presence in its representation. Simultaneity is thus not a given fact in consciousness, but a task for consciousness and a performance that is demanded of it. It consists in adhering to the thing in such a way that it becomes, but that means that all mediation is suspended in total presence. Cf. >Simultaneity/Kierkegaard._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
