Husserl and the ineffable:

In other words, not being an object as such, subjectivity in general must be for Husserl fundamentally ineffable and inaccessible to "a direct, univocal, and rigorous language" (LOG 77/82). --Derrida and Husserl: The Basic Problem of Phenomenology

"a direct, univocal, and rigorous language"

"Now subjectivity in general , as much empirical as transcendental, appeared very early to Husserl as inaccessible to a direct, univocal, and rigorous language. Subjectivity is fundamentally ineffable. Already in The Phenomenology of Internal Time-Consciousness, Husserl referred to the ultimate identity of the constitutive flux of immanent time and absolute subjectivity and concluded: "For all this, names are lacking" (ยง36, p. 100).85 And in the unpublished manuscripts of Group C on prototemporality, he wonders if pre-objective temporality, pretemporality (Vorzeit), is not beyond all discourse (unsagbar) for the " phenomenologizing Ego" (Ms C 1 3115 II, 1934, p. 9). Therefore, language, tradition, and history exist only insofar as objects break the surface." --Edmund Husserl's Origin of Geometry: An Introduction
"Es ist als Vor-Sein unerfahrbar, unsagbar; sowie das Unsagbare bzw. Unerfahrbare aufgewiesen, also doch erfahren und zum Thema einer Aussage wird, ist es eben ontifiziert"
