A major precondition for the emergence of this new philosophical discipline, and along with it the rise of modern nationalism, was a fundamental shift of the European time conception, which Walter Benjamin has described as a turn from the Messianic time conception of the Middle Ages to the modern conception of time as “empty” and “homogenous” (cf. Benjamin 1997: 700-703). According to the Messianic time conception, time was inseparably linked to the place and to the expectation that Messiah would return at any point of time. It was therefore unnecessary to conceive of time in more extensive historical lines. To the medieval mind, there was a “now” that was inseparably linked to a “here”. Time only existed if it “took place” and was conceived of as an expandable moment which was inseparably tied to the locality in which it was experienced. Places far away were accordingly projected far back in time.

In the wake of new 18th century discoveries and technical inventions, such as the invention of the chronometer and the synchronization of the homogenous global time by the division of time meridians, time could be gradually separated from space, and a new conception of time as empty and homogenous emerged (cf. Anderson 1996: 22-36). To the medieval mind, time had been filled with mythological and religious meaning and stories, serving as moral examples. In the new homogenous time conception, these stories were replaced by history, which in turn was filled with new meanings and narratives, such as the concept of progress.
