In the essay "The Scent of Time," Byung-Chul Han reflects on the crisis of time perception: the fleeting nature of each moment, hyperactivity, and lack of rhythm. Each moment is the same as the previous one, with no dynamics or direction that give life meaning. According to Byung-Chul Han, "the crisis of time will only be overcome at the moment when vita activa (active life) in full crisis once again embraces vita contemplativa (contemplative life) into its bosom."
