Abstract

The article initially presents the first conceptual formulation on protention in the On the Phenomenology of the Consciousness of Internal Time of Edmund Husserl's and later the triple meaning of protentions in his intermediate work on phenomenological temporality, the Bernau Manuscripts. It is observed in texts 1 and 2 of the aforementioned manuscript that Husserl emphasizes the importance of the empty of intention of the protentions as he testifies about the essential interweaving (Verflechtung) between the retentional and protentional intentionalities in the protoprocess (Urprozesses). In this context, as we will see, the now or protopresentation (Urpräsentation) becomes the limit point of two types of "presentified" acts, retentions and protentions.
