  We discuss from a philosophical perspective the way in which the normal
concept of time might be said to `emerge' in a quantum theory of gravity. After
an introduction, we briefly discuss the notion of emergence, without regard to
time (Section 2). We then introduce the search for a quantum theory of gravity
(Section 3); and review some general interpretative issues about space, time
and matter Section 4). We then discuss the emergence of time in simple quantum
geometrodynamics, and in the Euclidean approach (Section 5). Section 6
concludes.
