The author of the article tries to connect opinions on time of some modern and post-modern philosophers and sociologists of the 19th and 20th centuries (Hegel, Marx, Bergson, Foucault, Baudrillard, Bauman, Deleuze, Belohradský, Mizinska…) with some texts of Czech and world, modern and postmodern literature (particularly with drama) of the same time: A. and V. Mrstikové - 'Rok na vsi'; K. Toman - 'Mesice'; M. Proust - 'A la recherche du temps perdu'; S. Beckett - 'En attendant Godot', 'Fin de partie', 'Krapp's Last Tape', 'Nouvelles et Textes pour rien'; K. Siktanc -'Ceský orloj'; V. Macura - 'Ten, který bude'; M. Ravenhill - 'Shopping and Fucking', 'Faust (Faust is dead)'; S. Kane - '4.48 Psychosis'; M. Horoscak - 'Varený hlavy aneb 'Devce, tobe na kozách tanci smrt'; W. Mastrosimone - 'Like Totally Weird'. It is obvious that time is incorporated in the titles of most of these works.
