  Abstract:  My aim in this article is to examine Husserl’s comprehension of the “potentialities of intentional life” in the Cartesian Meditations. These potentialities are introduced in deep connection with a new vision of intentionality as horizon intentionality, and of experience as synthesis. And because synthesis involves time and time means inner consciousness, the intertwining between actuality and potentiality highly regards consciousness in itself. An analysis of Husserl’s description of the ego in the Ideen in terms of actuality and potentiality thus becomes required in order to characterize, through these concepts, the life of consciousness itself.

Keywords: Husserl, potentiality, actuality, horizon, synthesis.
