Abstract

Phenomenology, one of the most important contemporary philosophical movements, was founded by Edmund Husserl (1859-1938). The most critical concept in phenomenology is undoubtedly intentionality, which plays a significant role in understanding phenomenology. Despite the various changes in Husserl's philosophy, intentionality has consistently maintained its importance. This study was conducted through a reading of fundamental phenomenological texts and the viewpoints of commentators, utilizing the phenomenological method. Based on this reading, predecessors' views were critiqued, and Husserl's particular understanding of intentionality was clarified. This study demonstrates that an intrinsic knowledge of intentionality does not provide a solution to the path of phenomenology. By introducing and redefining the concept of correlation, Husserl opened a new horizon in phenomenology. Unlike Brentano's idea of intentionality, which Husserl derived from his teacher Franz Brentano, he integrated it into his philosophical framework distinctly from Brentano's understanding. According to this study, intentionality in Husserl's phenomenology constitutes objectivity, unifying, relating, and constituting consciousness.
