Algunos rasgos de la ontología de la historia propuesta por Bernhard Welte y sus desafíos para la teología

this article shows how the ontology of history proposed by welte offers an understanding of history where history is constituted within a radical time opening, where present-past-future do not behave as fixed successive units, but rather are transcended in relationships of inclusiveness and mutual dependency. at the same time, it is noted that this history is not constituted outside of the margin of the personal and social subject, but is made possible by the very exercise of freedom and action, history itself being an ontology of freedom. thus, we propose recognizing history as that which is irreducible, indecipherable, and unable to be completely encompassed, as that which always exceeds the narrow margins to which it is usually intended to be reduced. from the ontology of history proposed by welte, it is possible to acknowledge the theological as a latent possibility of history (possibility, inasmuch as we do not exist in the realm of mere determination, but of freedom). in history, and the dynamism of time, we can recognize the transcendent presence of god, a presence, however, that is not trapped, a presence that breaks all fences of power, a presence that is always questioning freedom.
