CABRERA, Celia. Willing expectation and Emotional Expectation: Non-doxic Forms of Anticipating the Future in Husserl´s Phenomenology. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2025, n.72, pp.203-232.  Epub 11-Ago-2025. ISSN 0188-6649.  https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v720.2901.

In manuscripts devoted to emotions and will published in the second and third volumes of the Studies on the Structure of Consciousness (XLIII/2-3), Husserl raises a pivotal question concerning the existence of a distinct and inherent form of expectation within emotion and willing (Hua XLIII/3, 285). Specifically, he introduces the terms “willing expectations” (Willenserwartungen) and “emotional expectations” (Gemütserwartungen), to describe a form of future-directedness that diverges from empirical and intellectual expectations, and which belong to the emotional sphere (Gemüt), broadly constructed. By delving into a selection of these manuscripts, this paper clarifies the meaning of these forms of anticipation of the future which involve an affective tension and a conception of the future as a practical horizon of realization of a goal. It also clarifies how these are different from what Husserl calls “intellectual (or theoretical) expectations” and empirically motivated expectations.
