The text examines the complex relationship between humanity and the future, transcending the basic shift from myth to faith. While the mythic orientation focuses on the primordial past, faith turns man toward the future. The author distinguishes between the "coming" future, which is merely a ready-made givenness, and the "true" future, which is not yet finished but calls for human activity and the opening of entirely new paths. This authentic future precedes and guides us; it is not an object to be manipulated but a guide to be followed. The goal of human endeavor is not to achieve fixed results or "facticity," but to gradually detach from the given. Ultimately, the aim is to be accepted as a subject into the "absolute future" (interpreted by Karl Rahner as God), which never becomes the past. True human action does not involve realizing pre-existing possibilities but rather orienting oneself toward a goal that is given to us through transcendence.
