As St Augustine said in a much-cited comment from his Confessions, he had an understanding of time in his head, but when he tried to explain it to someone else, the clarity disappeared (St Augustine 1961, book 11, ch. Whether sustained by human geographers or others, the debate over time has never been a simple affair. Key words : time, time-geography, time-space, concepts of time, rationalized time, experiential, tenseness, the present, flow, disjunctures. Among the trends identified, it places particular stress on the shift from objectified interpretations to those dealing with relational forms of lived and experiential time and on how the separation of early discussions of space from those on time, their dimensional stand-off from each other, has slowly given way to a view in which space and time are treated as sticky concepts that are difficult to separate from each other. This paper offers such a review, arguing that setting these differences down within a structured framework can provide a clearer sense of how diverse the debate among human geographers has become and the trends of thought that have underpinned this growing diversity. However, this does not prevent us from asking whether it is still possible to produce a coherent review of the differences involved. Fractured by such differences over how time may be used and interpreted, the possibility of an overarching concept of time in human geography has long gone. Recent work especially has greatly extended the range of these different approaches by stressing the innate variability of time, leading some to talk of ‘multiple temporalities’ and to pronounce time as ‘uneven’ even within the same society.
