The object of the study is N. J. Groth's interpretation of the manifestation of psychological time in consciousness. N. J. Groth was a philosopher and psychologist who combined scientific and empirical methods, as well as metaphysical research in the study of mental activity. He did a discussion with the famous psychologist W. Wundt. N. J. Groth postulate that the higher forms of consciousness (thinking, memory, intuition) are not interpreted in the space-time discourse. These are forms of being not subject to the laws of nature. The methods used in the study are comparative, hermeneutic and philosophical reconstruction. The study presents the results: 1) N. J. Groth and W. Wundt believe that time is a priori a form of feeling; 2) both philosophers introduce the concepts of objective and subjective time. However, time functions only within the boundaries of the human body; 3) the function of the sensation of time is not innate, but arise in experience; 4) N. J. Groth argues that to the deep forms of consciousness, temporal, spatial, quantitative parameters are not applicable. It is an ideal form of being which only metaphysics can comprehend.
