This paper analyzes the role played by the phenomenological conception of truth in Husserl’s “idealistic turn”. In the context of his transformation of phenomenology, I argue that, while usually neglected in its seminal character, Husserl’s conception of truth is indeed crucial to understanding the changes underwent by his philosophy. To that end, I delve into a key set of issues – namely, the notions of meaningful intention, intuitive intention and evidence; the originality of those concepts as compared to the conception of truth as correspondence, as well as the different types of truth in Husserl’s thought – all of which share a certain internal coherence, despite each one’s specificities.
