Disputes have lasted for more than a decade on the nature of the reason for initiating a criminal case, dozens of definitions are given to this term, but a common understanding has not yet been reached. The article attempts to analyze the concept of “reason for initiating a criminal case” in a linguistic and philosophical aspect. The conclusion is made about the expediency of considering the notion “reason for initiating a criminal case” not as a separate linguistic unit with independent lexical meaning, but as a phrase consisting of the concepts “reason” and “initiating a criminal case”. From the standpoint of the dialectical approach, the reason is considered as a condition manifested as a phenomenon of objective reality. Recognizing the infinity of the content of the occasion as a phenomenon of objective reality, the most significant of its elements are highlighted.
