This communication aims to examine the concept of time in its empiric, abstract or philosophical representations which can interest the historian. For that purpose it questions the a priori and the reality of time as it can understandingly conceive by an individual or a group on the one hand and in relationship with the historians’ needs in methodological and epistemological fields on other part. It therefore explores the responses to the difficult question to know what time is in itself and for oneself. In other words, this paper sketches the reflection at a time on the phenomenological and ontological extents and attempts to discern their implications in research and writing according to historian viewpoint. In other words, it approaches the practices that history can make of the various conceptions of time. It is a manifold approach thinking that is elaborated from the poetic, philosophical and scientific texts. As results, I can state that there are various conceptions and significance of time and historians have to take them in account.
Author Keywords: Time, past, History, story, duration, chronology, research, teaching.

Abstract
This communication aims to examine the concept of time in its empiric, abstract or philosophical representations which can interest the historian. For that purpose it questions the a priori and the reality of time as it can understandingly conceive by an individual or a group on the one hand and in relationship with the historians’ needs in methodological and epistemological fields on other part. It therefore explores the responses to the difficult question to know what time is in itself and for oneself. In other words, this paper sketches the reflection at a time on the phenomenological and ontological extents and attempts to discern their implications in research and writing according to historian viewpoint. In other words, it approaches the practices that history can make of the various conceptions of time. It is a manifold approach thinking that is elaborated from the poetic, philosophical and scientific texts.

Abstract: (french)
Ce travail examine le concept de temps dans ses représentations empiriques, abstraites ou philosophiques qui soient susceptibles d’intéresser l’historien. Pour ce faire, il questionne les a priori et la réalité du temps tel que l’entendement le conçoit et que l’individu ou le groupe le vit d’une part et par rapport aux préoccupations historiennes d’ordre méthodologique ou épistémologique d’autres part. Aussi s’emploie-il à explorer les réponses à la difficile question de savoir ce que c’est que le temps en soi et pour soi. Autrement dit, ce papier esquisse à la fois la réflexion sur les dimensions ontologique et phénoménologique du temps et tente de dégager leurs implications du point de vue de la recherche et de l’écriture historiennes. En d’autres termes, il aborde les usages que l’historien peut faire des différentes conceptions du temps. C’est une réflexion transversale et plurielle qui est élaborée à partir de l’expérience, des textes poétiques, philosophiques et scientifiques. Elle montre que les conceptions et les significations du temps sont très diverses et que l’historien a intérêt à en tenir compte dans son métier.
Author Keywords: Temps, passé, Histoire, récit, durée, chronologie, enseignement, recherche.
