ABSTRACT
The social aspect of constitution is an element that clearly does not play a central role in Husserl’s account of constitution. What is more important, it seems to stand in opposition to Husserl’s overall philosophical position, which is based on the first person authority over one’s own mental episodes. There might, thus, be a tension between the Husserlian elements and the social aspect of constitution, which play a central role in the account sketched above, which is why I will discuss this dimension in more depth in this chapter.
