Abstract

The present paper approaches the subject of the teleology in Husserl's phenomenology. Divided in three parts, the article focuses: 1) the thesis that the sciences have their own teleology: the guiding idea of being constituted as an "authentic science"; 2) the methodical principle of evidence, without which the sciences would not obtain knowledge, not realizing such guiding idea; 3) the teleology inherent to the intuitive fulfillment of meaningful intentional acts. Finally, the article reveals a "teleological unity": the meeting between the guiding idea of the sciences in Cartesian Meditations and the teleology originary of the intentional life in Logical Investigations.
