Time is one of the most mysterious philosophical topical, but also one of the most richly discussed. It concerns the progression and ordering of events in terms of before and after or in terms of past, present and future. Tune is commonly conceived to be a passage or a flowing stream, but this gives rise to the criticism of the myth of passage. Time is generally thought to have one dimension and an irreversible direction, but it is unclear what gives time its direction, whether there can be a backward temporal order or how to account for the asymmetry between the past and the future. Zeno's paradoxes raise fundamental questions about time as an infinite continuum and similar problems arise concerning space. Even with contemporary development in mathematics, It remains disputable whether time is infinitely divisible. Plato claimed that time is created and is the moving image of eternity. Philosophers continue to debate whether time has a beginning and whether we can make sense of a timeless existence. Aristotle in "physics" expressed many puzzles about the existence of tune. Kant argued that time, like space, is a form of intuition and understood mathematical knowledge to be determined in relation to these forms. Kant gave time a crucial role in his account of the categories and their application to experience. Bergson distinguished between intellectualized physical time and duration, which as the time of consciousness is the real essence of time. The validity of Me Taggart's attack on the reality of time is still under debate. Another enduring dispute concerns whether time is absolute or relative. Heidegger's account of temporality is fundamental to his account of human being. In existentialism, time is more subjectively conceived through its connection with the problem of human experience.With the development of science, Stephen W. Hawking, in his book "A Brief History of Time" , expressed three kinds of arrows of time. Marx discussed social time and its effect on the movement of society. Gadamer expressed his effective historical consciousness and fusion of horizons through " Zeitenabstand ". This paper agrees that the consciousness of time is the fusion of different life-time-word.
