NICOLAS DE WARREN “HUSSERL AND THE PROMISE OF TIME: SUBJECTIVITY IN TRANSCENDENTAL PHENOMENOLOGY” Cambridge University Press, 2009. ISBN 978-0-521-87679-7

The review considers the clue aspects of the book. De Warren makes the main subject of research Husserl's idea of subjectivity in relation to the problem of time-consciousness. Husserl's system itself the author refers to the subjective idealism. Husserl's subjectivity is treated as the constitution of the world in time-consciousness. De Warren tries to argue that the idea of temporality is important for Husserl's understanding of the identity of the subject. Conducting a comparative analysis of the ideas of Husserl and Brentano, de Warren shows that Husserl was the first who achieved in phenomenology a clear understanding of the experience. Criticizing the views of Derrida, de Warren argues that Husserl insists on the definition of I as a self-sufficient subject in spite of the importance of the problem of Other. One of the main conclusions of the book is the following: the subject is the history of the constitutional exercise of his own temporality. But it is a matter for further discussions. In the opinion of the reviewer this conclusion seemed to be controversial, but it doesn't reduce the impression of a fundamental, profound and subtle analysis of the phenomenological ideas of time and subjectivity.
