Socrates' theory of time and the three circles that he divides into multiple stages of a Socratic philosophical epic that extends deep into the universe and its time. Through this theory, Socrates presents a comprehensive vision of time in which he points out three main aspects:
In the beginning, the comprehensive circle. Here Socrates embodies time in its most general and comprehensive sense, as its influence intersects in everyone’s lives. It is time that makes history and shapes events that extend across generations.
Hence, the individual circle, here Socrates views time from the perspective of the individual, reflecting how each individual experiences time in a unique and personal way, influenced by their own experiences and unique life path.
Finally, the zodiac, this more spiritual aspect, reflects the individual's inner journey through time, in search of knowledge, wisdom and spiritual transformation, pointing to the cosmic journey of self-realization and spiritual development.
