Čas pohledem (nejen) fenomenologické filosofie

The theme of the following text is time - that clear and simultaneously mysterious eternal theme of philosophy since its very beginnings. If we speak of it we know about what we speak but we are not able to explain what is its sense. "Quid est ergo tempus? si nemo ex me quaerat, scio; si quaerenti explicare velim, nescio," says St. Augustine. The analysis of this phenomenon is especially difficult in our times when there exists a lot of cummulated ideas (frequently very incongruous each to other). The article is thus focused on such attempts which are considered to be indispensable for anybody who deals with the question of time. After an introduction to basic philosophical attitudes, the author endeavours at making clear the philosophical conceptions which treat time as a phenomenon of our consciousness (Aristotle, St. Augustine, Kant, Hegel, Bergson and W. James). This fulfils the role of a preparatory study for the interpretation of Husserl's phenomenological inquiries of the inner time-consciousness and, later, for the clarification of Heidegger's understanding of time in connection with the ontological question of being.
