On phenomenology of maturity
The article regards age peculiarity of maturity from the standpoint of the philosophical hermeneutics. Maturity is recognized as an age of self-determination of a man during the implementation of his long-term purposes. I have tried to describe and interpret maturity mainly by the analysis of the relation between situational and oversituational temporality of Dasein. It turned out that habit organizes everyday life into the pattern of cyclic time, oversituational temporality reproduces linear time in it, and their interaction is thereby a fact that determines the inner dynamics of maturity.
