  7. Abstract:
  8. Concept of Truth is the most fundamental concept in any intellectual activity. Knowledge systems are distinguished, above all, by their different viewpoint about truth and different criteria which they present for determining truth. Phenomenology, that its motto is returning to things as such, should introduce a definition of truth free from the presuppositions which lie in the definitions (implied or expressed ones) of it in most knowledge systems. In this project, we try to clarify concept of truth as correlation of transcendental act in philosophy of Husserl, and also study antecedents and consequents of this conception. In this project we investigate the place of the idea of “truth” in Husserl’s thoughts from Logical Investigations to Cartesian Meditations and Formal and Transcendental Logic. The idea of “truth” is interwoven with the ideas of knowledge, meaning, reality and also willing and freedom. In two first chapters we study the general idea of “truth” which deals with human freedom and will to know and forms the direction of knowledge. Our focus in the next chapters is on the narrowest sense of truth which deals with propositional knowledge. This latter concept is called Sedq in Persian and Richtigkeit in German, when former is called Haqaiqat in Persian and Wahrheit in German. In chapter two specifically we show the distinction between these two concepts and the ambiguity of the word “truth” in English. In each of other chapters we study the relation between truth (richtigkeit) and meaning and judgment and reasoning.Finally we describe the role of idea of “truth” in sciences from phenomenological point of view
