Abstract
The issue of studying time turns on a challenging question: Is there really a phenomenon of time that exists apart from any individual, or does the concept of time reside only in one’s perceptions of it? Does time possess objective and subjective features, or do human beings bring what they feel to be objective and subjective evaluations to their understanding of time? Aware of these complex questions, Frederich Kummel (1966) wrote
The problem concerning the nature of time cannot be separated from the many forms of its interpretation in the history of thought… for the very character of our contemporary conception of time is but the result of a long intellectual development… Time, having no reality apart from the medium of human experience and thought, is relevant only in its various historical interpretations (p. 31)
