Summary: | This diploma thesis deals with the category of time. Time forms an integral part of being and sensing for each individual. It is a vital point of reference in the life of an individual as well as that of society, and as such, it is the subject of study in various fields. Memory serves as a tool for orientation in life, both on an individual level, within each person's acquired experience, and on the level of the whole society. The collective memory of humankind records the experience of past generations and contains patterns and structures of social life. As soon as people realize the existence of time as a guiding mechanism in life, they develop a need to measure time.
