The first part of The Lectures on Internal Time Consciousness from the Year 1905 consists of an explanation of the time theory of Edmund Husserl’s teacher, Franz Brentano. The critical aspect of this presentation of Brentano has been shown to be not entirely valid. Given this consideration, our intention here is to emphasize the contextual character of these criticisms. This will involve defending the idea that they must not be evaluated by comparing the Husserlian interpretation with Brentanian theory, but by the motivation that this provides as the very beginning of the phenomenology of time. There are, in particular, some core issues which internal time consciousness in phenomenology should attend to and that were deduced from the Brentanian criticisms: the originality of the past and the temporalization of acts are some of the more relevant aspects. According to this, our proposal would try to specify Brentanian doctrine as it is presented in the Lectures, analyze Husserl’s criticisms, and determine the underlying clues regarding a phenomenology of time.Downloads
