The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies a time lapse, a moment of indeterminate time in which everything happens. What is happening when referring to kairos depends on who is using the word. In classical rhetoric[edit] In rhetoric kairos is "a passing instant when an opening appears which must be driven through with force if success is to be achieved Kairos was central to the Sophists, who stressed the rhetor's ability to adapt to and take advantage of changing, contingent circumstances. In Ancient Greece, kairos was utilized by both of the two main schools of thought in the field of rhetoric. Kairos fits into the Sophistic scheme of rhetoric in conjunction with the ideas of prepon and dynaton. Aristotle and his followers also discuss the importance of kairos in their teachings.
