Description
1. INTRODUCTION Each one of us can make the following observation: we often talk about time as if it corresponded only to a "becoming", to the stream of changes affecting a thing, a person, an institution, a physical system. Certainly, change is truly the phenomenon that best suggests the idea of time, and one can easily understand why: we never encounter a specific and directly perceptible reality that would be the time. We only see around us changing things, things becoming others, and it is therefore through the concrete effect of change that the course of time first appears to us. But to conclude from this, as our natural language does, that time and becoming are the same is a step that is too easily made: without proceeding to further investigation, time is mostly referred to as if it resembled what it holds. It is said to stop or disappear when nothing seems to be happening as if all its dynamics depended not upon time itself but upon its contents.
