The issue of time raises a large number of social, political and cultural questions for which it is perhaps difficult to find an overall solution. However, a certain number of structural directions are identified regarding :
- The difficulty for post-modern society to leave behind a quantitative appreciation of time, in particular in the world of work, and the right to "qualitative" time (for training, being a citizen, thinking, etc.).
- The need to link the different rhythms that pulse through our societies, particularly with respect to governance.
- Better use of the activity of those who have time (the elderly, the unemployed).
- Better education related to time and the long term. This is necessary if we are to evolve towards sustainable development - especially in order to understand that time has a structure that can be controlled and not simply suffered.
