Pre-predicative experience was described by Edmund Husserl to circumscribe the passive reception constituting consciousness’ life. According to the Husserlian description, this is the region of affections and primordial ego orientation immediately previous to all rational activity. It is this region, which gives shape to knowledge through comparative and explicative acts (active synthesis processes). Descriptions of Husserlian pre-predicative experience can be found on a number of writings by Edith Stein, specially on Introduction to Philosophy, on the manuscript Word, truth, meaning and language, and on Eternal and Finite Being: essay on the ascension of the meaning of being. Although Edith Stein did not have access to a mature Husserlian thought on this theme, laid out on the work Experience and judgment (1939), published posthumously by Ludwig Landgrebe, the access to Husserl’s manuscripts and the intuitions of the professor already present on Lessons to a phenomenology of the internal consciousness of time have enabled the incorporation of the Husserlian pre-predicative experience on her researches.
