Introduction

Abstract

From Aristotle to Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari time has been interpreted in a number of ways. The chapters presented in this section mostly discuss contemporary philosophers who were influenced by Bergson and that may be broadly inscribed within the phenomenological approach. In the introduction we will focus on a few key readings of time, focus in on Aristotle, Augustin, Henry Bergson and Reinhardt Koselleck in order to point out how the nineteenth and twentieth centuries would develop further the notion of time by multiplying not only its definitions and descriptions but time itself.
