Summary
Edmund Husserl: Lectures on the Phenomenology of Inner Temporal Consciousness
The analysis of temporal consciousness is an ancient cross between descriptive psychology and cognitive theory. The first who felt the enormous difficulties in this and who exhausted himself with them almost to the point of despair, was Augustine. Even today, anyone who deals with the problem of time must thoroughly study the part from chapters 13 to 28 of the book of Confessions, because in these matters the New Age, proud of its perseverance, did not go too far, and especially not too far from this great and inexorable thinker. Even today it can be said with Augustine: si nemo a me quaerat, scio, si quaerenti explicare velim, nescio.
