Roman Ingarden was an outstanding disciple of Edmund Husserl's. His conception of time grew in the context of his endeavour to solve the realism-idealism issue. The crucial text is "Man and Time', initially his lecture at the IX International Congress of Philosophy in 1937. While analysing two ideas of time — regarding as existent but the content of the actual moment or, on the other hand, acknowledging the existence of enduring in time, real and acting human persons, Ingarden embraces the second conception, showing the aporiai to which the first conception leads. Consequently, the basic meaning of "constitution' (see Sect. 5) is for him the development of a living creature or of a human person and not, as for Husserl, the creation of sense in the flux of consciousness. Nevertheless, his embrace, for epistemological reasons, of the concept of "pure consciousness' — in spite of his doubts concerning all the ontic features attributed to it by Husserl — makes his idea of time ambiguous.
