Understand uses of the concept

Time is at once a cosmic condition, a moral resource, and an experience of loss. Several texts ask what we actually do with the portion given to us.

Seneca stresses wasted time, Marcus Aurelius present action, and other corpora memory, expectation, or cycles. Annotations are entrances into those uses, not a universal definition.

Lexical variants: temps, time, tempus, καιρ, χρον
