文章以古希腊时期关于时间的来由以及时间的测量有代表性观点,引出中世纪基督神学教父奥古斯丁的心理时间观念——时间并非独立的存在,也非物体的运动;时间是由上帝所创造的,时间是人的心灵的延展。文中最后探讨了奥古斯丁时间观的影响,这种时间观念不仅影响了西方人的哲学视野,而且也深刻地影响了世界文学。 The article takes the representative viewpoints of the time and measurement of time in the ancient Greek period, and leads to the concept of the psychological time of the god father Augustine of the Medieval Christian theology - time is not an independent existence, nor a movement of objects; the time is created by God Time is the extension of the human mind. Finally, the article explores the influence of Augustine’s time concept, which not only affects Westerners’ philosophical vision, but also profoundly affects world literature.
