Philosophy of time is a branch of philosophy concerned with the issue surrounding the ontology, epistemology and character of time. While such ideas have been central to Philosophy of time was an inspiration for and a central aspect of early analytic philosophy. The subject focuses on a number of basic issue, including whether time exist independently of the mind,whether they exist independently of one another what accounts for time other than the present moment exist and questions about the nature of identity (particularly the nature of identity over time)Hitherto, There has been a lot of work on philosophy of time, but the comparative study on the concept of time has not been rendered in the perspective of Kant and Vaisesika while bringing out the quintessence of time and philosophy, the previous researcher have done on time and philosophy in general, but I am going to render it specifically on the foreground of Kant and Vaisesika philosophy. In my study it critically examines Vaisesika and Kant philosophy of time and sought to identify their similarities and distinctiveness. And analyze the reason for their similarities and differences. The objective of this paper is not to be finalize the philosophical argument about the philosophy of time but to attempt to come to a certain level conclusion that have similar qualities as well as different qualities to certain characteristics of time in Immanuel Kant's and Vaisesikas philosophy and I have tried to point out of which view is more acceptable in my view point's, so some questions come up in this context- 1.How to make a comparative study between time in Vaisesika and Kants view point. 2.Has Kant indirectly acknowledge time as the cause of our cognition as Vaisesika. 3.Why does not Kant accept time as substance like Vaisesika? The following are the objectives of the study- o To examine critically the influence of time on Vaisesika philosophy and Kants philosophy. o The importance of philosophy of time is mainly due to the comparative study of Vaisesika and Kants view point. o In kants or the Vaisesikas view is more consistent with the general view of time and the views of ther philosophers. o I will analyze in my view point who is less erroneous about time. I shall make a close textual analysis of "Critic of Pure Reason"and "Vaisesika Sutra"as the primary material of my research. Thereafter, I shall analyze them critically. Then using descriptive, analytical and comparative methodology & shall study the influences of time in Kant and Vaisesika philosophy. In addition, as a second material I shall take the help of various thesis research papers, essays and encyclopedia.
