This concept is rooted in the subjectivist tradition, which emerged in antiquity and gained momentum through the works of Protagoras and Socrates. We will examine how this idea was developed by Saint Augustine and its connections to other influential philosophers.</p> <p><strong>Context</strong> The subjectivist tradition in philosophy began to take shape around 400 BCE, with the emergence of thinkers such as Protagoras and Socrates. They challenged the notion of objective truth and instead emphasized the role of individual perception and experience in shaping our understanding of reality. This emphasis on subjective experience paved the way for later philosophers to explore the nature of time and its relationship to thought.</p>
