Życie codzienne opiera się na ogromnym zasobie oczywistej wiedzy i typów, a socjologia musi zrozumieć, jak ludzie nadają sens swemu światu.

Schutz used Husserl’s constitutive phenomenology to clarify Weber’s ‘subjective meaning’, describing how meaning is built up in consciousness and how we understand others; Husserl admired the book (1932).

Ugruntowuje socjologię rozumiejącą Webera w fenomenologii Husserla: jak w codziennym świecie życia rozumiemy, co mają na myśli inni.
Stanowisko
Schutz took up Max Weber’s demand that sociology understand the subjective meaning of action and asked what this “meaning” actually is – a question Weber had left unexamined. Drawing on Husserl’s phenomenology and Bergson’s analysis of inner time, Der sinnhafte Aufbau der sozialen Welt (1932) describes how meaning is built up in the stream of experience and how we understand other people. Its central idea is the life-world: the everyday reality we inhabit in the “natural attitude”, without doubting that the world exists and that others experience it much as we do. We cope with it through a “stock of knowledge at hand” made of typifications – the postman, the bus, a greeting – most of which we have learned from others. Schutz distinguished “in-order-to” motives from “because” motives, and the consociates we meet face to face from contemporaries known only as types. Essays such as “The Stranger” (1944) and “On Multiple Realities” (1945) applied these ideas. Through Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann’s The Social Construction of Reality (1966) and Harold Garfinkel’s ethnomethodology, his work shaped much of later sociology.
Życie i kontekst
Alfred Schutz (Schütz) was born in Vienna in 1899. After serving in the Austro-Hungarian army in the First World War he studied law and social science at the University of Vienna under Hans Kelsen and Ludwig von Mises. All his life he earned his living as a legal and financial adviser in banking, at first for the Vienna firm Reitler & Co. His only book published in his lifetime, Der sinnhafte Aufbau der sozialen Welt (1932), won Husserl’s admiration. When Germany annexed Austria in 1938 he happened to be in Paris on business; in 1939 the family emigrated to the United States. From 1943 he taught sociology and philosophy at the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research in New York, while continuing his banking work. He died in New York in 1959.
