Summary/Abstract: In this article, we consider a paradigmatic assumption of ours – namely, that the figures of non-classical dialectics, which we call Mirror Syllogistics, can be thought temporally. The statement this article starts with is that these are three different ways of flowing of social time which are independent of one another but intricately interwoven in reality.We will enter through the wide open door of the marvelous gigantic edifice built by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, in order to show that the three types of logical correlation(U-S-P, P-U-S, S-P-U) are also three ways of connecting the times (past, present, and future). We demonstrate the link of the three temporal structures (and their logical forms)with the very fabric of social order – the socialization of nature, the relations of power and counter-power, of deprivation and donation. The article is developed and conceived within the framework of the theory of structures of mediation, a theory following the tradition of Marx and Hegel. Working within it, we see a possible way out of the impasse of positivism and a new possible way of thinking time, the mystical, negation, etc.
