One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the [[universe]], a [[dimension]] in which events occur in [[sequence]], and time itself is something that can be measured. This is the [[Philosophical realism|realist]]'s view, to which [[Sir Isaac Newton]] subscribed, and hence is sometimes referred to as [[Newtonian time]] (''Newton's Views on Space, Time, and Motion'' - Stanford University [http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/newton-stm/]

A contrasting view is that time is part of the fundamental intellectual structure (together with [[space]] and [[number]]). Within this structure, humans sequence events, [[quantity|quantify]] the duration of events and the intervals between them, and compare the [[motion (physics)|motions]] of objects. In this second view, time does not refer to any kind of entity that "flows", that objects "move through", or that is a "container" for events. This view is in the tradition of [[Gottfried Leibniz]]<ref> Leibniz on Space, Time, and Indiscernibles - Against the Absolute Theory -- Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy [http://www.iep.utm.edu/l/leib-met.htm#H7] and [[Immanuel Kant]], Critique of Pure Reason - Lecture notes of G. J. Mattey, UC Davis [http://www-philosophy.ucdavis.edu/mattey/kant/TIMELEC.HTM] Kant's Transcendental Idealism - Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy [http://www.iep.utm.edu/k/kantmeta.htm#H4] in which time, rather than being an objective thing to be measured, is part of the [[mind|mental]] measuring system.
