About: Aeon

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The word aeon /ˈiːɒn/, also spelled eon (in American and Australian English), originally meant "life", "vital force" or "being", "generation" or "a period of time", though it tended to be translated as "age" in the sense of "ages", "forever", "timeless" or "for eternity". It is a Latin transliteration from the ancient Greek word ὁ wikt:αἰών (ho aion), from the archaic αἰϝών (aiwon) meaning "century". In Greek, it literally refers to the timespan of one hundred years. Its latest meaning is more or less similar to the Sanskrit word kalpa and Hebrew word olam. A cognate Latin word aevum or aeuum (cf. αἰϝών) for "age" is present in words such as longevity and mediaeval.

  • The word aeon /ˈiːɒn/, also spelled eon (in American and Australian English), originally meant "life", "vital force" or "being", "generation" or "a period of time", though it tended to be translated as "age" in the sense of "ages", "forever", "timeless" or "for eternity". It is a Latin transliteration from the ancient Greek word ὁ wikt:αἰών (ho aion), from the archaic αἰϝών (aiwon) meaning "century". In Greek, it literally refers to the timespan of one hundred years. Its latest meaning is more or less similar to the Sanskrit word kalpa and Hebrew word olam. A cognate Latin word aevum or aeuum (cf. αἰϝών) for "age" is present in words such as longevity and mediaeval. Although the term aeon may be used in reference to a period of a thousand million years (especially in geology, cosmology and astronomy), its more common usage is for any long, indefinite period. Aeon can also refer to the four aeons on the geologic time scale that make up the Earth's history, the Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and the current aeon, Phanerozoic. (en)
  • Aiôn ou aïon est la translittération du terme grec Αἰών, aux acceptions multiples : « destinée », « âge », « génération », « ère », « éternité ». Dans la philosophie antique, il s'agit de l'un des trois principaux concepts du temps, avec chronos, le temps linéaire ou continu, et kairos, le temps opportun. (fr)
  • アイオーン(古代ギリシャ語: αἰών, ラテン文字転写: aiōn、 ラテン語: aeonまたはæon、 英語: aeon又はeon)とは、古代ギリシア語である期間の時間を指し、時代や世紀、人の生涯というような意味である。ラテン語の Saeculum やサンスクリットの kalpa(कल्प; 漢訳では「劫波」)がこれに似た意味を持つ。 アイオーンは、紀元2世紀より5世紀頃にかけて、ローマ帝国内やその辺境地域で興隆した、グノーシス主義における高次の霊、あるいは超越的な圏界を示す意味で使用されたので、宗教学的・思想的にはこの意味でよく知られている。 (ja)
