Özet
The fall into time and the fall out of time are two fundamental concepts in understanding Emil Michel Cioran's philosophy. It is possible to integrate Cioran's entire philosophy, which consists of fragmented texts and aphorisms, under these two concepts. These two concepts are expressions of two tragic situations. The tragedy is the product of consciousness or becoming conscious of (something). Because, according to Cioran, becoming conscious of something throws a person out of that thing and condemns him to tragic processes. In this context, falling into time signifies our separation from the serenity in which we are united with God or the wholeness of existence. However, this tragic fate that a person falls into by becoming conscious of himself evolves into a more tragic fate by becoming aware of the time in which he falls. Cioran calls this falling from time. To fall out of time is to become conscious of history or the fiction of time. The result is a dangerous indifference that amounts to dreaming of nothingness before God. This danger is wishing for death for the individual and extinction for the human species. This article will try to reveal the philosopher's intellectual perspective by examining the concepts of falling into time and falling out of time, which imply two different existential tragedies in Cioran's thought.
