Abstract
In this paper I want to explore the idea of a phenomenology of cultural time. I shall begin with the distinction between lived (or experienced) space and objective space, and with the idea of lived space expanding into cultural space. I shall then consider the possibility of finding parallels in the experience of time. After outlining my idea of the cultural experience of time, I shall explore certain cultural differences based on different experiences of time. I shall conclude with some reflections on the relation between such cultural differences and the contemporary world.
