The denial of time is the foundation of European manner of thinking. History teaches us that Europeans have always tried to construct their World from self-identical beings which presuppose the denial of time. The most typical timeless beings are Platonic Ideas. Ideas descend from eternal World into the stream of time and make things what they are. Two kinds of time representations, B-series (earlier-later relation of moments) and A-series (past•present•future) are both devices for controlling actual time. Proofs of the Unreality of Time are essentially mere declarations of European manner of thinking. This author confirms the fact by examining proofs by Parmenides and McTaggart.
