Abstract: The conflicting views of time proposed by nineteenth century classical science on the one hand and by biological and cultural evolution on the other are examined in the light of recent discoveries concerning nonequilibrium systems. A new view emerges of the evolution of complex systems, one where determinism and chance both play important roles, and where man begins to find his real place in a creative universe.
