On understanding the Category “Time” in the History of Philosophy: from “chronos” to Heidegger

Abstract

The article reveals the relevance of the fundamental ontological nature of the philosophical category “time”. The authors substantiated the conclusion that within the framework of modern society with its sociocultural challenges, increasing dehumanization, and total digitalization, “time” has again become relevant for humanity as a “product” of human subjectivity. In this regard, the approach of the authors of the article to the problems of time through the prism of “being and nothingness” is an attempt at an analytical commentary, the purpose of which is to evaluate from the position of “today and now” the reception of one of the main ontological categories, from the ancient mythologeme of Chrono’s to Heidegger and Husserl.
