Abstract

The purpose of this essay is to discuss the time-space dimension in human reality evolution and search for an answer to the following question: is that dimension helpful for the understanding of organizations? Why? It is argued that it is, since it broadens the explanatory power of objects that compose organizations, which are shaped in accordance to time-space in which they are conceived and practiced. The essay takes the leibnizian premise that time is an order of successions, and space is an order of coexistences. It makes use of the authors' reflections about the theme in an argumentative process that seeks to justify that time-space and forms of organizing society assigns the social habitus in several temporalities, and that the determinant semiology of time-counting allowed the establishment of an organizational evolutionary sequence and techniques inside civilizations. Nowadays time-space is a fundamental variable in the dynamic of global economy as well as of social and cultural relations. While in physics time and space got new definitions, breaking with Newton's theory, in social sciences time-space reveals itself to be socially constructed, thus, social events represent the human dimension of time-space.
