Abstract
The founder of the phenomenological movement is not known as an aesthetician, but he exerted decisive influence on a number of important philosophers of art working within that tradition. Furthermore, posthumous texts reveal that Husserl himself had important and interesting things to say about art and aesthetic consciousness, which, while not amounting to a full-blown aesthetic theory, chart directions in which one might be developed.
