“Time

…I would like to say a few words about the illusion that is time, as there is one sort of time we can call our own, and another- shall we call it ‘official’ time?- that we share with all others.

…

In Physics Aristotle makes a distinction  between Time and the single moments he describes as the ‘present.’ Single moments are -like Aristotle’s atoms- indivisible, unbreakable things. But Time is the line that links these indivisible moments….. Clocks and calendars do not exist to remind us of the Time we’ve forgotten but to regulate our relations with others and indeed all of society, and this is how we use them.”
