In this Master thesis, I will explore the development of the concept of temporality in Husserl, Heidegger, and partly also other philosophers. I will focus on the phenomenological time and both Husserl's lectures that analyze our subjective experience of time and duration and Heidegger's unraveling of temporality through care structure in Being and Time. I will defend the idea that, Heidegger's most striking and important ideas originate in Husserl after all, more specifically in his lectures The Phenomenology of Internal Time-Conssiousness. Other key influences on Heidegger's thought include Aristotle's notions of κίνησις and Χρόνος, Augustine's elusive tempus, the notion of intuitive a priori time in Kant, and more. However, let's stick to one bold thought; that the beginnings of Heidegger's concept of time and being are embodied in Husserl's lectures.
