Sažetak
Time and space have always been the two key aspects of human existence. However, in the course of man’s cultural evolution, they have been perceived differently. In pre-modern societies, natural, cyclic time was predominant as a paradigm of local communities’ organization of life. In modern society, linear time and socially (culturally) structured time dominates as a paradigm of organization of life. There are three “time cultures” (Zeitkultur) regarding the role of time in the society: “traditional”, “modern” and “the culture of digitalised time”. The article starts with the hypothesis that there are significant differences between natural and social systems; therefore, there are also differences in their time perspective as seen in natural (cyclic) and cultural (linear) perception of time. The confrontation of the two in modern society has its consequences. Socio-ecological crisis is the consequence of the cyclic – linear time clash; in time and space, in individuals and society as a whole, it reflects the neglect of the natural time and the dominance of the social time. The article
compares the natural and the social system; it explains why time has become a relevant sociological problem in modern society, time as individual and economic resource, the importance of time economy and time management in the organization of modern life. The article points out the necessity to create a “new time culture”. For that, the criticism of time economy is not enough; time ecology needs to be considered.
