Im Unterschied zu den Naturwissenschaften, aber auch im Unterschied zu Linguistik, Logik und Mathematik befassen sich die historischen Wissenschaften mit dem Neuen. 2 Das gilt für den Begriff des Neuen formaliter, aber auch für die jeweiligen Gehalte dieses Neuen. Im Begriff des Neuen als dem Indiz des Einmaligen des Ereignisses ist eine Zeitstruktur impliziert, die sich von der qualitativ stillgestellten Zeit der Naturwissenschaften unterscheidet. 3 Das bedeutet, dass Zeit im historischen Sinn 1 Zum Begriff Erlebnis siehe Wilhelm Dilthey: Das Erlebnis und die Dichtung.
Mit der Ausführung der Tat beherrscht ihn die Verwirklichungsgewalt der Zeit, die die geschehene Tat als vergangene setzt und sie so aller praktischen Verfügbarkeit entzieht. In diesem Moment herrscht der Absolutismus der Realität. Raskolnikow ist zwar für seine Tat verantwortlich, er kann Antwort auf die Frage danach geben, warum – d. h. zu welchem Zwecke – er das getan hat, er kann also die Tendenz der Möglichkeit und seine eigene Intention beschreiben. Dann tritt die Narrativität ein. Sie ersetzt – und 42 bewältigt, soweit erträglich – die Absolutheit der Tat; sie entschärft die geschehene absolute Einmaligkeit zum verfügbaren Kommunikationsakt.
Zahl/Erzählen: Die Erzählung ist die reproduzierende Inszenierung der Zeitlichkeit des Ereignisses selbst. In der Erzählung wird die Struktur der Zeit als ehemalige Erwartung, als Entscheidung zwischen Zukunftsmöglichkeit und Realität im »Ereignis«, dargestellt. Hier wird der Umschlag von der Erwartung in die Erfahrung als Prozess der Verarbeitung des Neuen begreiflich. Prinzipiell gilt: Erst die Erzählung macht die Zeitlichkeit des Ereignisses verwaltbar; die Erzählung konstituiert in diesem Sinn geschichtliche Zeit.
