The Concept of Time by Kimura Bin

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the consideration of the concept of time by Kimura Bin, a scholar
engaged in research at the crossroads of psychiatry and philosophy, whose research was based on
practical experience with patients suffering from different types of personality disorders as well
as on the reflection on the vast historical and philosophical material. The author focuses on the
analysis of Kimura’s approach considering the time and space through the prism of popular Japanese
philosophical idea of “between” (aida) and his interpretation of correlation between present, past
and future, time and eternity.
