    Key Terms

    Discrete snapshots(what the theory argues against; how time would feel if not for retention and protention)
    Separate, isolated still images or moments with no connection to each other—like individual frames of a movie seen one at a time with gaps between them.
    Husserl
    Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) was a German philosopher who founded a way of thinking called "phenomenology," which focuses on carefully examining how we experience and perceive the world around us. Rather than assuming things are simply as they appear, Husserl developed methods to deeply explore human consciousness and the structures of our experiences. His work became foundational to modern philosophy and influenced many thinkers who came after him.
    Inner time-consciousness(as the type of temporal experience Husserl studied)
    The way your mind experiences the flow of time as you live through moments—how you're aware of the present while also holding onto what just happened and anticipating what's coming next.
    Protention(Husserl's phenomenology of internal time-consciousness)

    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    Husserl's term for the anticipatory or 'awaiting' phase of consciousness that is directed toward the approaching future, included within the living present.
    Retention(Husserl's phenomenology of internal time-consciousness; central to Derrida's argument in Voice and Phenomenon)
    Husserl's term for the primary memory of the just-past that is folded back into present perception; paradoxically classified by Husserl as both a kind of perception (included in the present) and a kind of non-perception (different from the strict now).
    irreducible(Personalist anthropology; distinguishes personhood from mere biological individuality)
    That which is unique and unrepeatable in each human being, by virtue of which a person is not merely an individual of a species but a personal subject.
    phenomenology(Preliminary working definition offered as a starting point for understanding the discipline)
    The study of phenomena: what appears to us and its appearing
