Husserl's Definition of History

"We can now say that history is from the start nothing other than the vital movement of the being-with-one-another and the interweaving of the original formation of meaning and sedimentation of meaning."

Edmund Husserl, "The Origin of Geometry" in The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology: An Introduction to Phenomenological Philosophy, trans. David Carr (Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press, 1970), p. 371.
