Spanish term

perennidad

Spanish to English Social Sciences Philosophy history
Una vez dado ese paso, una vez que Hegel puede afirmar que es más valiosa la fugacidad de una flor que la perennidad de la montaña, poniendo de reversa al pensamiento griego, una vez que los tiempos modernos entienden a la acción humana como pro-yecto puesto que nos dieron un futuro, es, pues, imposible renunciar a él.

perpetuity / everlastingness

Para mantener un paralelismo, mi sugerencia es:

- Si ponés everlastigness para perennidad, poné fleetingness para fugacidad
- Si ponés perpetuity para perennidad, poné brevity para fugacidad

¡Espero que te sirva!
