Bücher von Alfred Schutz

This volume contains a translation of four early manuscripts by Alfred Schutz, unpublished at the time, written between 1924 and 1928. The publication of these four essays adds much to our knowledge and appreciation of the wide range of Schutz's phenomenological and sociological interests. Originally published in 1987. The essays consist of: a challenging presentation of a phenomenology of cognition and a treatment of Bergson's conceptions of images, duration, space time and memory; a discussion of the meanings connected with the grammatical forms of language in general; a consideration of the relation between meaning-contents and literary forms in poetry, literary prose narration and dramatic presentation; and an examination of resemblances and differences in the inner forms and characteristics of the major theatrical art forms.

Ein Klassiker der verstehenden Soziologie Die von Thomas Luckmann nach dem Tod von Alfred Schütz vollendeten Strukturen der Lebenswelt gelten als Grundlegung der phänomenologischen Soziologie. Alfred Schütz deckt hier schrittweise jene elementaren Strukturen des Alltagslebens auf, die sozialer Erfahrung, Sprache, sozialem Handeln und somit auch der komplexen historischen Welt des menschlichen Lebens zugrunde liegen.Alfred Schütz (*1899 in Wien) lehrte bis zu seinem Tod 1959 an der New School of Social Research in New York. Sein Schüler Thomas Luckmann (1927-2016) war Professor für Soziologie an der Universität Konstanz und der bedeutendste Vertreter der Wissenssoziologie und Religionssoziologie.

This book shows how phenomenology of the social sciences differs from positivistic approaches. Includes Schutz's theory of relevances, his critique of T.S. Eliot's theory of culture, and an ethnographic description of the diary of his first visit to the U.S.

These writings by Alfred Schutz, some in their first English translation, examine the "normative" areas of literature and ethics, addressing the author-reader relationship, multiple realities, the literary province of meaning, and Schutz's views on equality.
