‘Time’ is the symbol for a relationship set up by a human collectivity among
different orders of change: this symbol undergoes great modifications when the
society goes from being ‘simple’ to highly differentiated. From the perspective
of the civilization process this symbol has changed in keeping with the ups and
downs of life, with periods of stalemate and others of rapid evolution, but
always in a direction that we can recognize and reconstruct even though no
single person has consciously pursued it. Human societies have followed a long
path that has led them to tend to use symbols that imply recourse to syntheses
which are ever wider and more generalized. Nowadays ‘time’ is a symbol that
expresses a very high level of synthesis.
