This text explores the philosophical problem of time perception and its ontological nature within human experience. The author posits that time itself cannot be directly perceived or internally experienced as an independent entity. Instead, the temporal dimension is inextricably linked to specific actions, processes, and changes occurring within beings or events. This process is characterized as the "timing" or "temporalization" of events. The argument is supported by an analogy with the perception of sensory qualities such as color or sound. Just as it is impossible to perceive color independently of a colored object or sound without a vibrating body, time cannot be experienced separately from the dynamics of real-world events. The work emphasizes the relational character of time and its dependence on the existence of processual change. Thus, time is not an empty container in which things happen, but rather an intrinsic aspect of the changes and processes that constitute our reality. Through this approach, the text contributes to a deeper understanding of the phenomenology of time and the relationship between the subject and the objective world through the prism of the constant flux and dynamism of being.

Čas – vnímání
Čas nemůžeme přímo ani vnímat, ani vnitřně prožívat, neboť každé naše vnímání i vnitřní prožívání je neodlučně spjato s nějakými ději či změnami, tedy s časováním (nebo časením) nějakých jsoucen (tj. událostí). (To není žádná mimořádná záležitost; ani barvu, ani zvuk nemůžeme vnímat odloučeně od něčeho barevného nebo zvučícího.)
