An Analysis of Time and Phenomenology by Husserl and Heidegger

Abstract

This paper mainly discusses some important internal connections between Heidegger’s early philosophical thoughts, especially the phenomenological theory of time and Dasein’s existentialism, and Husserl’s phenomenology of inner time consciousness, so as to provide some favorable perspectives for a clearer understanding of the overall ideological context of the two thinkers. Correcting the inconsistencies and contradictions that we have formed in our minds and resolving some of these doubts, especially through the analysis of time and phenomenology, we can more clearly understand some important clues of 20th century continental philosophy and its position on the historical stage. The key is how Heidegger successfully completed his Dasein existentialism innovation and its “hermeneutic” transformation.
