Abstract This article is devoted to a phenomenological analysis and interpretation of the basic concepts involved in phenomenology. The first concept that deserves our attention is that of “apodicticity” along with the related concept of “apodictic evidence”. The next concept is that of “correlation,” which manifests its apodictic character in bringing together all transcendental facts. With the transition from traditional discourses to modern discourse, the concept of apodicticity continues to deepen; at the same time, it is accepted that some metaphysical presuppositions continue to lurk at the foundation of this concept. Apodicticity, as the principle of knowledge, is an idea that lies in the infinity of universal experience, which includes both agreed and mismatched moments. This mismatch, in turn, refers to correlative connections between the transcendental Ego, the world and intersubjectivity. Transcendental subjectivity has a correlative nature, which is due to its self-transcending character, resulting in gaps and distinctions being found within subjectivity.

Phenomenological Interpretation of Apodicticity Despite the long history of its existence, starting with Aristotle’s philosophy, the concept of apodicticity remains to be clarified in modern philosophy. This present lack of clarity can be seen in terms of the domination of philosophy by tradition, which results in modern conceptual moves continuing to be based on already recognised concepts. However, it is precisely here that the duality and inconsistency of the modern position is revealed. Due to its reluctance to uncritically accept traditional concepts into its conceptual “scenario,” modern philosophy accepts only

those concepts that are seen as being consistent with contemporary themes and contemporary sense. As a result, the traditional sense of the concept of apodicticity, although accepted into modern discourses, is subjected to a kind of interpretative procedure, resulting in many traditional senses of the concept being reinvented and revealed in novel ways. Why does this occur? One of the possible reasons for this can be seen in the initial lack of clarity of the concept of apodicticity. Moreover, as a consequence of its disclosure, the concept of apodicticity reveals such senses that are not so much embedded in it, but rather are relevant in modern philosophy by means of and through apodicticity. It is precisely through the manifestation and clarification of these traditional senses of the concept of apodicticity that many relevant questions concerning ontological and epistemological topics can b
