Abstract

Abstract Time is an omnipresent component of social life and generally represents one of the most fundamental concepts of the world as people experience it (Wendorff 1989). Nevertheless, a review of the literature suggests that a wide range of writers in philosophy, natural sciences, mathematics, economics, the social sciences, and history have avoided producing a clear and unambiguous definition of time. Instead, specific aspects of time have been explored (Hassard 1996), questions about time have been studied from different research angles and disciplinary perspectives (McGrath and Rotchford 1983), and metaphors have been used to describe time (Schoeller 1998). Generally speaking, time is universal (Bieri 1972), relational, and multidimensional.
