Phenomenology of Time: Edmund Husserl's Analysis of Time-Consciousness

by Toine Kortooms

Overview

Edmund Husserl occupied himself with the analysis of time-consciousness throughout his life. In this book, the three stages that may be distinguished in Husserl's occupation with this theme are discussed in their interrelationship. The first stage consists of a lecture manuscript from 1905; the second stage consists of the so-called Bernau manuscripts, research manuscripts that were written in 1917 and 1918; and the final stage consists of the so-called C-manuscripts, research manuscripts that were written in the late 1920s and the early 1930s.

Central themes in the discussion of Husserl's phenomenology of time in this book are: the connection between the analysis of time-consciousness and the analysis of phantasy-consciousness and image-consciousness; Husserl's position in the debate between A. Meinong and W. Stern concerning the possibility of the perception of time; the self-constitution of absolute time-consciousness; the influence of Husserl's development of genetic phenomenology on his analysis of time-consciousness; and the question of the intentional character of time-consciousness.

Editorial Reviews

In the fourth part of a lecture series he delivered in 1904-05, and in two later research manuscripts, Kortooms (U. of Nijmegan, the Netherlands) finds stages of the development of Czech-born German philosopher Husserl's (1859-1938) thinking about time-consciousness. He considers the context and the first analysis in the lecture series and its developments in the years following, three models and genetic phenomenology in the L-manuscripts, and the last analysis in the C- manuscripts. The text was translated into English by Jo K<:o>hler. There is no subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
