In this work, as a result of the comparative analysis of the dynamic and functional concepts of time, the similarities and differences between them in the explication of the concept of time are revealed. So, in both concepts, events and objects exist in the present time, and the present time arises as a result of qualitative changes occurring in them. At the same time, there is a difference between the present of the dynamic and the functional concepts: the present of the dynamic concept is a "moment" in time, while in the functional concept the present exists as long as an object exists, a process (each object is a process) that forms its own time. In a functional concept, as in a dynamic concept, time flows. However, in a dynamic concept, time flows from the past through the present to the future. Functional time flows from the present to the subsequent present of successively changing, qualitatively new states of the process, as well as from the present of some objects to the present of subsequent objects, which, due to the non-substantial nature of time, begin to form their own present times. Time, both in dynamic and functional concepts, is associated with becoming. However, according to the functional concept, consistently changing substantive changes occur in the present time, while in the dynamic one they move in time from the past through the present to the future. There are other similarities and differences between the discussed concepts of time, which are discussed in the article.
