Edmund HusserI's early writings on time-consciousness: Significance for the development of the phenomenological method

Abstract

This thesis is an exploration of Edmund Husserl's early writings on internal time-consciousness (Husserliana X, 1893-1917). Developments in Husserl's method of phenomenological exploration are presented. Changes in Husserl's models of internal time consciousness are also presented. In the concluding sections of this thesis, the developments in Husserl's early writings on time are examined in the context of Husserl's overall philosophical project. This thesis supports the secondary literature that argues that Husserl underwent significant developments in his phenomenological method because of his early exploration of time and time-consciousness.
