摘　　要：线性时间观与循环时间观之争由来已久。自古代的奥古斯丁到当代的卡尔·洛维特,有关两种时间观的辩驳就没有停歇过,只因时间观念决定着人的宇宙观、宗教观、历史观和人生观。争论的基础来源于奥古斯丁所作的区分:古希腊持有循环时间观,基督教持有线性时间观。然而,问题的关键却没这么简单,因为古希腊的时间观并非绝对的"循环论",基督教的时间观亦非绝对的"线性论"。这要求我们重新辨明时间概念之争的来源及其特性,找到能够据以判决的事实根据,权衡其中的合理与不合理因素,并最终确定奥古斯丁的区分无法成立。因此,后人在此基础上的论述恐怕也得大打折扣。The argument between linear time view and cyclical time view is a long-standing issue. From Augustine in ancient times to Carl L？ with in contemporary, debating about time is linear or cyclical has been going on, because the concept of time determine people＇s outlook of the world, religion, history and life. The precondition of the argument come from Augustine＇s differentiating： the ancient Greeks have a cyclical time view, and Christian have a linear time view. However, the crux of problem is not so simple, the former is not absolute ＂cyclical theory＂, and the latter is not absolute ＂linear theory＂. This requires us to identify the origin of debating between two time and their own different features, which can find the judgment based on facts, weigh the reasonable and unreasonable factors, and finally confirm that Augustine＇s differentia ting cannot be established. On this basis, therefore, I＇m afraid that the argument of others will also be very unreliable.
