B.Russell constructed a"temporal relation theory"model about the view of time,but this model has va-rious difficult problems.Russell showed that the"temporal relation"is single,unanalyzable and irreducible,thus rejecting the"temporal passage"and"the transiency of time".However,G.Schlesinger critically pointed out that the Russell's view of time essentially advocated that"time"should be a space-like thing,and that the"temporal relation theory"cannot hold up.In contrast,L.N.Oakland argued that the"temporal relation theory"has funda-mentally established the difference between"time"and"space",and there is no so-called"spatialization"prob-lem.But after investigation,Schlesinger did reveal the weakness of the"temporal relation theory"model,because it is difficult to justify itself in explaining people's will,consciousness,emotion,personality,life and other aspects.In terms of the"ontological meaning",the"primary nature"of time can only be based on the"temporal becoming theory",and the"temporal relation theory"can only be understood based on the"temporal becoming theory".
