Comprehension of Time in Older Historical Periods

To diplomsko delo obravnava razvoj dojemanja časa v starejših zgodovinskih obdobjih. Pregled razvoja misli o času je posvečen evropskemu prostoru ter območju Arabskega polotoka in okolice. Posamezni koncepti časa so predstavljeni v povzetkih del avtorjev, ki so največ prispevali k oblikovanju razvoja misli do zadnjih stoletij srednjega veka. V poglavju, posvečenemu antiki, so najprej predstavljeni pogledi na čas iz starih civilizacij, novosti v grški in rimski misli, nazadnje pa še oblikovanje krščanske misli in vplivi nanjo. Na prehodu med zgodovinskima obdobjema se besedilo ukvarja s procesom oblikovanja štetja let po življenju Jezusa iz Nazareta, ki je pozneje postal širše uporabljen sistem štetja. Poglavje srednjega veka se posveča krščanskemu vplivu na misel v Evropi, novostim v dojemanju časa ob pojavu islama ter spremembam v dojemanju časa ob pojavu sprememb v družbi v poznem srednjem veku.This undergraduate thesis discusses the development of the comprehension of time in older historical periods. The overview of the development of thought on time is dedicated to the European region and the region of the Arabian Peninsula an its vicinity. Specific concepts of time are presented in summaries of works of authors, that have contributed the most to the development of thought up until the last centuries of the Middle Ages. The chapter, dedicated to antiquity, presents views on time of old civilisations, novelties in Greek and Roman thought and lastly, the forming of Christian thought and influences on it. At the transition between the historic periods, the text deals with the process of forming the reckoning of years after the life of Jesus of Nazareth, that later became a widely used system of reckoning. The chapter of the Middle Ages is dedicated to the Christian influence on thought in Europe, novelties in the comprehension of time at the occurence of Islam and changes in the comprehension of time at the occurence of changes in society in the Late Middle Ages
