This article presents the function of modalization (Modalisierung) in Edmund Husserl’s phenomenology. As we will see, modalization is treated by the author under the title of possibility (Möglichkeit). For this reason, modalization is fundamental for changes to occur in the formulation of predicative judgments and is totally necessary for fulfillment syntheses. At this point, we note that it has become increasingly clear to Husserl that experiences and intentional experiences always include incompleteness, one-sidedness and ambiguity in the self-giving of objects and judgments. Accordingly, we find that this generally shows a ‘universal teleological function’ of evidence encompassing all intentional consciousness. In this regard, it is a continuous trend that seeks correction and, therefore, a predisposition to modalization and reason.
