    The relationship between the development of the concept of time in children and the conceptualization of time in Hellenistic philosophy
    (Ahmet ŞİMŞEK, 2025) Durna, Feride; Codina, Judit Sabido; Şimşek, Ahmet
    The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the age-related development of the concept of time in children and the temporal representations of the figures Aion, Kairos, and Kronos, the gods of time in ancient Greek mythology. The concept of time does not emerge spontaneously in individuals. It appears and takes shape depending on the culture in every society. Although the child's learning process about time begins within the family and continues systematically at school, it is shaped by its function in the daily life of society. In this study, the representation of time through Aion, Kairos, and Kronos is first explained. Then, the developmental characteristics of the general and historical concept of time in children are identified based on the literature. Following this, an attempt is made to establish a connection between the developmental status of the historical concept of time that emerges with age in children and the characteristics of the Greek mythological gods of time. In conclusion, it is observed that the Hellenistic understanding of time involves three distinct representations of time and their interactions, emphasizing subjective time perception, and offering a broader awareness that transcends temporal boundaries. This study, which addresses the various structures of the concept of time and their effects on individual and collective memory, suggests that the diversity of Hellenistic concepts of time challenges the modern linear understanding of time. In this context, a perspective on how time is experienced in different cultures emerges through a comparative examination of ancient and modern understandings of time. It is expected that this will provide a foundation for new studies on the consciousness of time. It can be proposed that the perception of time in Hellenistic philosophy may enrich time management approaches across various disciplines by introducing a new dimension to modern thought structures.
