Evidence Pertaining to the Perception of Time, to Memory, etc
Paragraph 27
Previously we discussed the immediate past. We hear a melody. The first note plays. Then the second. While we are aware of note number two, we are also aware of note one in its process of passing-away into the past.
Husserl wonders now about a more distant past. For example, yesterday we heard a melody. We recall it now. Each note plays again in our phantasy, just as we experienced it the day before. In this way, we obtain a sense of time’s flow, even though it is based on our reviewing an event in the more distant past.
If I remember something I experienced yesterday, I have a phantasy-representation of yesterday’s experienced event. I may reproduce in this representation the whole event consisting of various successive steps. In doing this, I have an apprehension of temporality. First one step is reproduced, then in definite sequence the second, and so on. (156c)
