Happy Days, Simon Critchley's blog for The New York Times, explains Rousseau's sense of time.

To say, as Rousseau does, that the state of bliss is one “where time is nothing to it,” is not to say that there is no time here. It is a question of different experience of the present, what Heidegger calls the rapture of ecstatic time that breaks through the ordinary series of past, present and future that habitually marks the rhythm of our lives. If eternity means anything, it is this lived intensity of the present.
