Abstract
Objects and events from the outside world are represented in our consciousness through the structure of time. Temporality and consciousness are closely related phenomena and in this paper I intend to explore their relationship by referring to the philosophy of Edmund Husserl. I will try to provide an adequate contemporary interpretation of Husserl?s understanding of temporality, as well as the relationship between the internal structure of time and consciousness, through the conceptual framework of dynamic systems theory and enactivist theory of cognition.. In order to succeed in my intention, I will rely on a special ability of the subject: activity.
