Abstract

“Putovanje”, “prostor” i “vrijeme” izrazi su s kojima se svakodnevno susrećemo; koristimo ih i razumijemo. Ipak, da je u potpunosti tako, ova tema ne bi bila predmetom još jednoga u nizu radova iz filozofije. Dok se putovanje kroz prostor ne doživljava kao nepoznanica, nego kao sasvim razumljivo i zdravorazumsko, putovanje kroz vrijeme, u reverzibilnom smislu, čini se, još lebdi u gomili neostvarenih ljudskih želja i jedan je od ciljeva čovječanstva. Nakon kratkog analiziranja osnovnih pojmova uvidjet ćemo sličnosti i razlike ovih dvaju vrsta putovanja. Kako bismo pokušali razumjeti navedeno, kao i sintagme “putovanje kroz prostor” i “putovanje kroz vrijeme” potrebno je uvidjeti kontinuitet pokušaja njihovih objašnjenja. Od Platona, Aristotela i svetoga Augustina preko Newtona i Lewisa do danas modificira se, ali se ne uklanja problem niti se nalazi rješenje misterioznih putovanja – kroz prostor i kroz vrijeme. Naprotiv, upravo ova problematika tek sada postaje trend te se njome bavi sve više ljudi. Vidjet ćemo kako su osnovni problemi ovih putovanja povezani s uzrokovanjem, slobodnom voljom te što je u njemu logički pogrešno. Kao zaključak stoji da putovanje kroz prostor, kao i kroz vrijeme ne možemo zdravorazumski pojmiti kao nešto reverzibilno jer to ne bi bilo pogrešno samo u pogledu osobnoga identiteta putnika, nego i u pogledu identiteta čovječanstva.

Abstract (english)

“Travel”, “space” and “time” are expressions we use and understand everyday. Yet, if this was entirely so, these subject would not be subject to another in series of philosophical works. Whilst traveling through space is not seen as an unknown, but as an understandable and something of a common sense, traveling through time in reversible sense, it seems, still floats in a mass of our unrealised desires and aims. After a short analysis of main terminology, we will see the similarities and differences between these two types of travel. In order to understand them as well as the phrases “travel through space” and “travel through time” , it is necessary to recognise numerous historical attempts to explain them. From Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Newton and Lewis to this day, although views were modified through times, the problem still exists as well as the lack of explanation of travel through space and time. If anything this subject is becoming something of a trend and more and more people are fascinated by it. We will see how the main problems of time and space travel are connected to the notions of cause and free will and what is logically wrong in this view. As a conclusion, travel through space and travel through time can not be understood as something reversible, as that would't be wrong not only from the point of personal identity of a passenger, but from the point of entire human identity.
