El objetivo de la obra es analizar las diversas formas de entender el tiempo, desde la sociedad agraria hasta la cultura urbana, según el contexto filosófico, histórico o científico; desde su aspecto más cotidiano hasta su relación con el movimiento, el cambio o la identidad, y su influencia en todos los ámbitos de la cultura.

Human life is conditioned by a very important fact: the end; death is the most significant success. Then time is thought like an arrow with two proprieties: irreversibility and direction. In fact, the entropy is which governs our lives. But, men have imagined a continuous life after death, an eternal life where time didn’t finish, and it’s not submitted to the second law of thermodynamic (entropy). But the question what is the significance of that? It is possible to think about (...) time without those two important proprieties, –a time “non-entropic–”? In other words, speak about eternal life has any meaning? (shrink)
