Transcendental Apperception and Temporalization
-
Inga Römer
Abstract
The chapter analyzes Husserl’s interpretation and appropriation of Kant’s idea of transcendental apperception. The first part sketches three famous reinterpretations of the transcendental deduction and transcendental apperception by Hegel, Cohen, and Heidegger. The second part considers Husserl’s reception of the transcendental deduction in general. And the third part is specifically dedicated to his interpretation of transcendental apperception. I will defend the thesis that the most fundamental layer of time-constitution can be understood as Husserl’s final answer to the problem of a phenomenological transcendental apperception. On this interpretation, temporalization, characterized by anonymity and drive-intentionality, is the ‘highest’ or rather the ‘lowest point’ of transcendental phenomenology. Temporalization, however, has a sense very different from that proposed by Heidegger.
