Summary/Abstract: The attempt of identifying in Cioran’s writings a real theoretical substance for his idea of time is a fruitless endeavour. A philosophically articulated concept of time is entirely missing from his work. Nevertheless, a certain existential notion of time and temporality can be derived from his writings, but not as a phenomenalization of time in terms of past, present and future.
