Abstract
THE philosopher discusses the significance of time; the astronomer measures time. The astronomer goes confidently about his business and does not think of asking the philosopher what exactly is this thing he is supposed to be measuring; nor does the philosopher always stop to consider whether time in his speculations is identical with the time which the world humbly accepts from the astronomer. In these circumstances it is not surprising that some confusion should have arisen.
