Alfred Schutz: Appraisals and Developments

This is a special issue of *Human Studies*, published in 1984 by Springer Netherlands, dedicated to Alfred Schutz on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his death, and also serving as a tribute to his intellectual biographer, Helmut R. Wagner, on his eightieth birthday. The volume comprises several key papers, including three presented at a session honoring Alfred Schutz at the Eastern Sociological Society meeting in March 1984. Helmut R. Wagner's paper draws on his intellectual biography of Schutz, while Jonathan B. Imber offers a fresh interpretation of Schutz's 'The Well-Informed Citizen'. David M. Rasmussen provides a comparative analysis of Schutz and Habermas, focusing on Habermas's *Theory of Communicative Action*. K.H. Wolff, the present author, discusses the underlying problem in Schutz's conception of phenomenology and social science that connects these papers. Additionally, Ingeborg Katharina Helling's essay explores the intellectual relationship between Alfred Schutz and Felix Kaufmann, thereby analyzing the interplay between phenomenology and the positivism of the Vienna Circle. This scholarly work offers profound insights into Schutz's thought and its legacy within phenomenology and social science. Condition: Good paperback. The binding is solid, and the pages are clean. This copy shows signs of light handling consistent with its age and academic use.
