Malraux is a thinker who considers the non-eternity of art and presence: metamorphosis makes all presence precarious and random, and its incompleteness, which the notions of empreinte and aura express, increases this precariousness. Malraux acknowledges, like Conche and Lyotard, that destiny will ultimately prevail, but also like them he affirms that, when it is presented in the future anterior, a rivalry with destiny may not be in vain. This time is the destiny of time in its very irreversibility.
