The transcendence of time in the epistemology of observation from a phenomenological standpointDOI: 10.1590/S0100-60452011000200002 Keywords: absolute subjectivity, decoherence functional, history filter, history proposition, original process, phenomenological perception, quasi-temporal, temporal consciousness, von neumann's projection postulate. Abstract: in this article i deal with time as a notion of epistemological content associated though with the notion of a subjective consciousness co-constitutive of physical reality. in this phenomenologically grounded approach i attempt to establish a 'metaphysical' aspect of time, within a strictly epistemological context, in the sense of an underlying absolute subjectivity which is non-objectifiable within objective temporality and thus non-susceptible of any ontological designation. my arguments stem, on the one hand, from a version of quantum-mechanical theory (history projection operator theory, hpo theory) in view of its formal treatment of two different aspects of time within a quantum context. the discrete, partial-ordering properties (the notions of before and after) and the dynamical-parameter properties reflected in the wave equations of motion. on the other hand, to strengthen my arguments for a transcendental factor of temporality, i attempt an interpretation of some relevant conclusions in the work of j. eccles ([5]) and of certain results of experimental research of s. deahaene et al. ([2]) and others.
