%X This essay pursues two goals: (1) to argue that two fundamental types of time¡ªthe time of objective reality and ¡°the time of the soul¡±¡ªmeet in human activity and history and (2) to defend the legitimacy of calling a particular version of the second type a kind of time. The essay begins by criticizing Paul Ricoeur¡¯s version of the claim that times of these two sorts meet in history. It then presents an account of human activity based on Heidegger¡¯s Being and Time, according to which certain times of the two types¡ªexistential temporality and succession¡ªmeet in human activity. The legitimacy of calling existential temporality a kind of time is then defended via an expanded analysis of activity that examines where the two times meet there. The concluding section briefly considers a conception of historical time due to David Carr before showing why history is a broader domain encompassing human activity where the two times meet.
