...and it just ain`t “Spirit of the times”, which sounds like an advertisement for coca cola.

According to Noah Webster, "Zeitgeist" means "the spirit of the age. trend of thought and feeling in a period"--as I have explained.

Sorry but use of a DICTIONARY OF PHILOSOPHY is easier facilitated than an regular dictionary coz they are specialized terms, as a “mouse” for a computer is not a gray animal living as found in dictionaries of HEGEL`s times...’TIMES ‘HEGEL`s TIMES’= ‘HEGEL`s WORLD’- GOT IT NOW?
ZEITGEIST WEBSTER = “the trend of culture”
Well, cultures apply to “CIVILIZATIONS” WHICH EXIST ONLY IN THE WORLD-
.
“TIMES” refers to cultures present at a certain time in the WORLD<, not clocks.

EXAMPLE ‘It was different world then’
= ‘it was a different time then”
= ‘They were different times then”= GOT IT?

ERGO< ‘WORLD GHOST’ IS MORE APT A TRANSLATION coz I never knew of a ghost that lived in a clock.
