My investigations into the nature of the modalities in Husserl's philosophy were first undertaken under the influence of the pioneering work of Jaakko Hintikka. I looked into the nature of Husserl's various concepts of possibility¹, and subjected the possible-worlds interpretation of Husserl to the criticism that it involved a naive ontological reification.² Hintikka and Harvey³, in response to my criticisms, and Seebohm on his own, have supplemented the possible world theory with an account culled from Husserl's writings — of the constitutive processes of modalization, thereby introducing the needed genetic underpinning, unavoidable from the phenomenological point of view, for the static-descriptive account of the earlier work (of Hintikka). All these have set the framework for study of the other modalities in phenomenology. In this paper, I will retrace some of the steps taken earlier, with regard to "possibility'.
