摘要

This manuscript is submitted to CPR for the special issue on sedimentation edited by Saulius Geniusas. In this paper, I examine how the mature Husserl explicates the meaning and role of sedimentation in its various dimensions, ranging from individual self-development within the ego (the layering of time-consciousness), through habit and tradition to the formation of the concrete person, and ultimately outwards to the broader intersubjective processes of acculturation and historicization in the working of traditions. “Precipitation” [Niederschlag] and “sedimentation” [Sedimentierung] are terms employed in Husserl’s later work to express how original experiences bed down to provide a layer of presumed context. Thus, in Experience and Judgement, Husserl explains sedimentation as: “[T]he continuous transformation of what has been originally acquired and has become a habitual possession and thus something non-original” (Experience and Judgment § 67). Sedimentation is increasingly important in Husserl’s understanding of the relation between what is implicitly assumed and what can be ventured in culture and tradition.
