The time dimension is identified with what has already passed, what is present and what will be.The eternal confrontation of man with time is interpreted by the philosopher Heidegger as a fear of passing, aging, oblivion and dissolution.In contrast, Hegelian philosophy understands the passage as an exit from time, a leap into eternal intelligible structures that stand in their own right but which nevertheless remain in time. “Man, in his continuous flow between past, present and future, gives shape to time in his reality in the soul, in the memory, in the attention, in the expectation”.(Saint Augustine)
