Among the themes Husserl investigates are perception as a form of time-consciousness; retention and protention as immediate forms of awareness of past and future; memory and expectation and their differences from and dependence on perception, retention, and protention; the temporal modes in which objects appear; the way in which the various forms and modes of time-consciousness are constituted; the connection between subjective or immanent time and objective time; and the absolute time-constituting flow of consciousness as the fundamental level of cosnciousness life.
