The paper deals with the notion of synthesis and transcendental ego in Kant and Husserl. It will argue that the actual difference between Kant and Husserl’s notion of transcendental ego can be understood through their conception of time. Kant accepts transcendental ego as the kind of logical necessity for synthesizing the various temporal units which provides unity to the consciousness. However, Husserl discards the necessity of transcendental ego by giving the phenomenological interpretation of time as internal time consciousness. The interpretation of time as the flow of protention and retention synthesizes the time without invoking the necessity of Kantian transcendental ego outside the flow. Husserl’s analysis of internal time consciousness will also help us in understanding the methodological differences between Kant’s transcendental philosophy and phenomenology.

合成与先验自我：康德与胡塞尔的比较

本文探讨了康德和胡塞尔的综合自我和先验自我的概念。它将认为，康德和胡塞尔的先验自我概念之间的实际差异可以通过时间概念来理解。康德接受先验自我，将其作为综合各种时间单位的逻辑必然性，这些时间单位为意识提供了统一。然而，胡塞尔通过将时间的现象学解释为内部时间意识，放弃了超越自我的必要性。将时间解释为持续性和保留性流可以综合时间，而无需在流之外引用康德先验自我的必要性。
