ABSTRACT

This chapter addresses the model of thought that underlies Husserl's explanation of the move from the pre-predicative lower-level intentional achievements to the predicative higher-level ones. Husserl claims it is possible to uncover the subjective activity that formed the logical objectivities and reveal the layers of sense that experience deposited in them. Just in the same way, no split will take place between the layers of predicative spontaneity and of the formation of universal objectivities. Time is the form of all individual objectivities, the comprehensive horizon within which they can all be given to an Ego, even when they are not given in the same kind of intuition, as in the cases, for example, of acts of perception and acts of remembering Husserl says clearly that without association and its specific legality an Ego would be unthinkable. Association is not an empirical phenomenon regarding the way data of the inner sense relate themselves in the human soul.
