An Aristotelian Time-Space Manifold: From Chronochora to Kairotopos
Stockholm University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Stockholm Business School. (Marketing Management)
1999 (English)In: Time & Society, ISSN 0961-463X, E-ISSN 1461-7463, Vol. 8, no 2-3, p. 309-328Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Abstract [en]

The two Greek notions of time, chronos and kairos, and their spatial counterparts,chora and topos, are discussed in conjunction with some Aristotelian notions of human action, namely, theoria/episteme, poiesis/techne, and praxis/phronesis. From this discussion follows a unification of these Greek spatio-temporal notions intochronochora, chronotopos, kairochora, and kairotopos, which correspond to a move from abstract scientific time-space towards a concrete and meaningful time and place. Finally, these time and space notions are discussed in the contemporary organizational settings of time management (e.g. Just-In-Time) and virtual organizations, and their different forms of abstraction are alluded to.
