C 3 I: Streaming-Living Present

Date: 1930 (Summer and Fall)

...[p. 3]

If I, reflecting upon myself, return to my living streaming present in its full concretion, in which it is the primal ground and the primal source for all my now present-actual ontic validities, then it is not for me that which belongs to me in contrast with other human beings, and it is not that which belongs to me as corporeal-psychic real existing human being. This and the other human beings are first valid for me on the basis of experiences of my living present as world-present. Their mundane present, the present of their corporeal-psychic, human being, is valid for me in my streaming-living present, and in its way is verified in my verification, but not as itself existing in my living present. It is perceived, experienced in it, but is not an immanent component of the living present. [Mensch, p. 240]
