Abstract
In his Phenomenology, after the Ideas to Pure Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy, Husserl increasingly thematizes the problem of the immortality of the transcendental ego together with its infinite immanent flow. This raises the problem of the meaning of the experience of consciousness before birth and after death.
We show that these contexts cannot be satisfactorily accessed unless we take into account the specific finitude which, according to Husserl, although not belonging to the transcendental self, belongs to the situation of the self carrying out phenomenological investigation. And this second, phenomenologizing ego only makes the various levels of transcendental experience accessible.
