چکیده:
The question of what time is is considered one of the most beautiful and, at the same time, most complex philosophical issues. Since ancient times, philosophers have sought help from natural sciences to dissect this subject, and currently, a serious discussion in this field is impossible without recourse to the findings of physical science. In this article, an attempt has been made to briefly review a selection of various views regarding the nature of time presented throughout the history of philosophy, and based on the results obtained from new physical theories, the extent of our knowledge of the nature of time will be somewhat clarified.

In this article, an attempt has been made to briefly review a selection of various opinions presented regarding the nature of time throughout the recorded history of philosophy and, considering the results obtained from new physical theories, to somewhat clarify the extent of our knowledge of the nature of time.
Since it seems that phenomena such as dreaming or remembering past events, as well as perceiving the diversity and apparent changes of the surrounding world, have been companions to humanity since the beginning of its creation, it would not be an exaggeration to claim that: the question of time and the issues surrounding it, as subjects that immediately arise from the analysis of these phenomena, have occupied human thought since the dawn of human intellect.
In this brief work, the author attempts, on one hand, to trace the discussions raised regarding the nature of time as far as possible in the history of philosophy, and to categorize and present the most important points found in this regard in a logical manner; and on the other hand, to examine the change in human attitude toward the issue of time in the shadow of new discoveries in the science of physics and to explain the new beliefs resulting from these discoveries.
Figuring out how the world was formed, identifying its primary constituent elements, as well as the oneness or plurality of phenomena and realities existing in the universe, and the possibility of motion or rest of these phenomena, were fundamental subjects that occupied the minds of ancient Greek thinkers.
