Husserl devoted a series of thorough investigations to the problem of time as well as the problem of history. A thematic treatment of their connection, however, is lacking in his phenomenology; and this does not only apply to Husserl's published works but evidently also to his unpublished posthumous work.¹ This raises the question of whether Husserl's phenomenology has posed the problem of the connection between time and history in such a way that it can be phenomenologically elucidated in keeping with the criteria that Husserl himself established for phenomenological clarification, elucidation, and, not the least, foundation.
