About Time The conception of time is seemingly self-evident. Tick‚ tock. A minute consists of sixty seconds‚ an hour of sixty minutes‚ a day of twenty-four hours‚ and a year of 365 days.

Time is free but it is priceless. We can’t own it‚ but we can use it. We can’t keep it‚ but we can spend it. Once we have lost it‚ we can never get it back. It is sure and certain that time is like a river. As the current of river flows ahead and never comes back. The same is with time. Once lost it can’t be regained. The time and tide is the same. The rise and fall of the sea happen twice daily. When it is time‚ the tide always comes whatever the situation is and we can’t stop it. So that

Kant’s View on Space and Time In his Critique of Pure Reason‚ Immanuel Kant wrote about the science of the transcendental aesthetic in which he argues that space and time exist as a priori intuitions in the human mind. Space and time‚ for Kant‚ are the pure forms of intuition that order our empirical intuitions or sensations and allow us to have them. Thus‚ the essence of his view in this regard is that space and time are subjective human conventions that our mind brings to the realm of experience
