The article discusses two dichotomies in the analysis of time-conceptions and their relation to historiography. Regarding the absolute-relational dichotomy it is concluded that historiography has put far too much emphasis on the absolute conception of time when establishing chronological systems. The second dichotomy is the one between time as fundamentally an A- or a B-series in MacTaggart's sense; and regarding that, the conclusion is that the B-series has gained an undeserved hegemony when historiography has attempted to model its conception of science on the natural sciences. Finally the two dichotomies are combined and it is argued that historians should put more emphasis on the relational/A-series combination
