| Time: A. Time is a dimension in which events are arranged. At first, no direction (before / after) is defined with this. A time direction can be obtained in the context of the Second Principle of Thermodynamics. However, a global framework must be assumed, within which there is an increase of entropy. The assumption of increasing entropy does not apply to the comparison of local events. B. In the case of the subjective time, the question of direction is less problematic. The perceived time direction is expressed by the learned use of the terms "before" and "after". See also time arrow, time travel, time reversal, symmetry, duration, space time, relativity theory, four-dimensionalism, world lines._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Michel Foucault on Time - Dictionary of Arguments
I 310ff Time/Foucault: 19th century: the finitude with its truth is in time, and immediately the time is finite. The great dreaming of an endpoint of history is the utopia of causal thinking. This has remained binding for a long time, and Nietzsche has once again revived it. >Nietzsche, >Utopianism, >Utopia. I 322f Time/Foucault: with its chronological classification and quasi-spatial calendar it is undoubtedly an illusion of knowledge. Cf. >Time/Kant, >Space/Kant._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
