Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : "The Epicurean conception of time leads to three major difficulties: there is indeed a physical objective time, though time itself seems to depend on our representations; time may be perceived by reason, but, according to a few texts, it is only perceived by sensation; finally, Epicure refuses to grant it some real unity. The latter difficulties find their solution in part in light of the Epicurean theory of language as well as in the accidental and secondary status of time as related to internal or external events."
