The ideas presented in The Phenomenology of Internal Time-Consciousness were origionally presented as lectures that were given between 1904–1910 during which Husserl explored the terrain of consciousness in light of its temporality.
As an addition to the small body of Husserl's writings now available in English (Ideas 1931; Meditations, 1960), this book is essential to even a small collection of source works on contemporary philosophy.
Edmund Husserl (1859–1938) is often credited as the father of phenomenology, and his work was influential to later phenomenologists including Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Gadamer, Levinas, and Derrida. He is author of Logical Investigations and Ideas.
