Márgenes temporales y fuerza geofísica de la praxis. El desafío entre destino y arrepentimiento en el tablero de la historia creatural

This paper offers a metaphysical interpretation of the ecological crisis by framing it as a crisis of temporality, rooted in the disruption of the relationship between time, eternity, and historical responsibility. Starting from Aurelio Peccei’s diagnosis of the growing dissonance between human technological power and moral responsibility, the essay argues that late modernity is characterized by an extreme acceleration and contraction of time, resulting in the erosion of natural, social, and existential spaces. Drawing on a metaphysical framework inspired by Augustine, Plotinus, and Walter Benjamin, time is interpreted as a derivative and fractured image of eternity, whose destabilization leads to entropic processes affecting both the biosphere and human life. Within this context, the paper introduces the concept of repentance as a practical and ethical category capable of re-opening the temporal structure of history. Repentance is understood not as a physical reversal of past events, but as a retroactive reconfiguration of their meaning, necessity, and normative weight. In this sense, selected analogies from quantum theory – explicitly employed as heuristic models rather than physical explanations – help to illuminate the openness, contingency, and revisability of historical time. The notion of “temporal entanglement” is proposed to describe the interdependence between past, present, and future in the domain of ethical action and collective responsibility.
