  1. The condition of being bounded in time (of being temporal).
    • 1996, Douwe Tiemersma, Henk Oosterling, Time and Temporality in Intercultural Perspective:
      "This means 'that all temporality points beyond itself' (Hart 1973, 32)."
    • , 2000 Martin Heidegger Being and Time
      Temporality makes possible the unity of existence, facticity, and falling prey and thus constitutes primordially the totallity of the structure of care.
      Temporality "is" not a being at all. It is not, but rather temporalizes itself. Nevertheless, we still cannot avoid saying that "temporality 'is' the meaning of care," "temporality 'is' determined thus and so."
