This work, which methodologically draws on the legacy of Husserl and on Weber's synthesis of systematic and historical sociology, presents the results of an intensive methodological reflection in the field of social science that Alfred Schütz carried out over three decades.
Although his death in 1959 prevented the completion of this work, the inner unity and transparency of the concept that permeates the work left in fragments enabled Thomas Luckmann to prepare the work for publication in accordance with the intentions of Alfred Schütz himself.
Alfred Schütz's life's work is marked by a central aspiration, namely the aspiration to substantiate the possibility that the subjective meaning of human action can be determined objectively, that is, scientifically.
