If we take the term "phenomenological' in its broadest sense, we can say that Husserl's, Heidegger's and Dilthey's reflections on time and temporality are all phenomenological. The use of the term is legitimate in the historical sense even for Dilthey, since he was already under the influence of Husserl's Logical Investigations ¹ when he wrote the Aufbau der geschichtlichen Welt in den Geisteswissenschaften in the years 1905 to 1910, a text which contains some of his most interesting and sustained reflections on the temporal character of experience.² Husserl's lectures on internal time-consciousness, of course, were composed in this same period.³ And when Heidegger developed his own theory of temporality in Being and Time, in the 1920's, he was very much under the influence of these two predessors.⁴
