In Husserl´s early works on time, the future is an important topic for phenomenology that gains increasing relevance in his late works. Regarding the experience of the future, phenomenology can approach the subjective possibility of anticipating what is not yet given, both actively (in expectations) or passively (in the projection of the style of the past into the future). A new perspective on the subject?s relation to the future arises thanks to the consideration of practical phenomena, such as willing and deciding. What is at stake here is the possibility of doing something with what is not yet given. In this sense, our principal concern is to contextualize Husserl´s reference to the relationship between willing and future in the framework of his more general analysis of the future and, at the same time, to answer a question that arises in the analysis on time: the problem of novelty, and in this context, the possibility of creativity.
