Abstract
Since the last years of the 18th century, we may appreciate in Spain a new way of thinking time. This way will greatly affect the way of thinking history and, as a consequence, of carrying out the political action. Really, different temporalities coexist and mix together in a very complex fashion; the present paper, however, is focused on the way of thinking time as an opportunity, with its advances and backings down, doubts and problems. We analyze the different solutions to the problems arisen by that temporality concept in the field of historical study as also in the political action.
