The present paper approaches the subject of teleology in Husserl’s phenomenology, notably the teleological doctrine of the sciences and the teleology of intentional life. Divided in three parts, the paper explores: (1) the thesis that the sciences possess their own teleology, guided by the idea of constituting themselves as “authentic sciences”; (2) the principle of only judging in evidence, without which the sciences could not advance in their teleological march; and (3) the teleology of intuitive fulfillment in perceptive and pre-predicative experience. The paper ultimately seeks to highlight the relationship between the teleological doctrine of the sciences and the teleology of intentional life.
