This work deals with Husserl's term intentionality and its meaning for the phenomenological analysis of individual and social constitution of consciousness. It firstly tackles the Husserlian understanding of individual intentionality and the constitution of objectivity through the noetic-noeamatic correlation, that is later expanded upon with contemporary interpretations of social intentionality and motivations which influence or determine the functioning of norms and habitualities within collective forms of intentionality. Those are later examined on the basis of Husserl's explorations of the historical changes in techniques of measurement and validation and its impacts on the emergence of modern scientific method and objective sciences. These are in close relation with another of Husserl's phenomenological projects, namely the critique of contemporary science, its concepts and terminology on the basis of its practical , with simultaneous grounding and development of a new philosophy, aimed at offering a universal knowledge, capable of grounding particular sciences with a new terminology and conceptual tools, developed with the phenomenological method.
