This book studies analyzes Husserl’s protentional consciousness traces both its uniqueness and contribution to our overall awareness of time. The text offers an extensive take on various aspects of protention in connection with all the phenomenological issues it is intertwined with. The author, in particular, focuses on the relation between protentional consciousness and affectivity, shedding light on the dynamic unity of our living-present. This study shows that Husserl’s phenomenology is equipped to offer a solid account of the thinnest and subtlest ways in which our experiential life involves our awareness of the future. Husserl would contend that any attempt to examine our consciousness’s passive life and its dynamic in its various forms inevitably intersects with our primal awareness of the future. This text appeals to students and researchers interested in Husserl’s conception of this primordial relation to the future.
