Summary/Abstract: The text examines the possible effects of relevant time theories in the texts of Samuel Beckett. The focus is mostly on philosophers read or mentioned by Beckett: Augustine, Descartes, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Bergson, Heidegger. Time is interpreted as external condition and as an internal characteristic, as well as their convergence. The article discusses time structure in Beckett's texts as a concentrate of his existential experience in a debate with imposed time theories. He does not fully solidify with any of them and builds his own systematically understanding of the temporal or chronotope in his art.
