Summary/Abstract: Objective and subjective time are the most discussed fundamental differentiations about time. Apart from these two fundamental differentiations, it is seen that philosophers had focused on time from various aspects. In this study, it is sought to determine the number of various ways that philosophers had related time since Archaic Age. Therefore the issue of time is discussed under four main titles; objective and subjective time, linear and cyclical time, metaphysical time and time for the mankind, and lastly time from an analytical perspective. These four titles do not indicate a sharp differentiation about time. The aim of the study is not to classify the philosophers talked about time, but to determine the perspectives on time which had developed analytically. Each classification is approached within the framework of philosophers who had the most significant tendency to mentioned category.
