Temporalidade e constituição : uma investigação acerca do acesso metodológico à esfera da consciência constitutiva do tempo na fenomenologia husserliana
Resumen
The aim of this work is to analyze the possibility and the apparent limit of the reflective-descriptive
methodological access to the deepest layer of the constitution of time in Edmund
Husserl’s phenomenology. If on one side, reflection presents a real possibility of the
phenomenological description of consciousness by seeing and capturing in an objectifying
way the acts and objects of consciousness, on the other hand, there seems to be at first glance
a certain limit concerning the grasp of reflection because reflection can not capture the
deepest sphere of the constitution of time as it picks up objects and acts of consciousness, so
this original constituent sphere can never become an object. The price paid for making this
ultimate constitutive sphere of time an object is falling into a return to infinity. The
examination of this methodological issue will be conducted based on the analysis of three
periods in which Husserl investigates this question, namely, in On the Phenomenology of the
Consciousness of Internal Time (1893-1917); Bernau Manuscripts (1917-1918) and
Manuscripts C (1929 to 1934). The thesis that is being defended here is that ever since his
early writings about the theme of temporality, Husserl seeks to prepare an answer to the
question concerning the methodological access to the deepest realm of time constitution; but
it is particularly in his afterthought by formulating the notion of transzendentalphänomenologisierende
Ich that Husserl dissolves once and for all the apparent "limit" or
"puzzle" about the reflective-descriptive access to the ultimate sphere of time constitution.
This resolution becomes possible because the phänomenologisierende Ich is here understood
as the Ego which constitutes the time as well as the Ego that observes itself retrospectively in
their ways of constituting, so that in this retrospective and constituent movement the
transcendental life of consciousness is accessed and can then be captured descriptively in
their deepest constituents layers.
