A tripartite division of time will be examined: cosmological time, scientific time and the time that is reached in the most radical understanding of freedom. These three times correspond to three different futures that refer to the future of the universe, to the future of the production of human life through technology and history, and to the future that is the personal being's own time. This description will allow us to describe three different modes of human action that correspond to different levels of freedom. The objective is to have a framework that allows us to understand the different futures and to hierarchize their consideration of the end of the human person.
