The study analyses how, in Augustine’s thinking, time, mind’s relation to itself and language are related together. Being the time of the passing things as far as observed by human mind, time is a span of human spirit.
Similarly, as an attempt of grasping the things, language is an activity of mind calling out the significances from the depth of its own memory. As a result, mind relates to itself exactly in time and in language, always as to its own span shaped through other things, i.e. as to its own memory.
