Alfred Schutz

Hva er og hvordan fungerer egentlig samfunn og kultur? Human- og samfunnsvitenskapene blir aldri ferdige med sine klassikere for å svare på disse spørsmåla. ... Boka lar oss bli kjent med hvordan vitenskapsteoretikeren og sosio.logen Alfred Schütz (1899-1959) svarte på dem. ... I disse tekstene finner vi hans ideer om den sosiale virkeligheten slik den utfoldes på grunnlag av strukturene i menneskets livsverden. Livsverden og hverdagsviten er begrep og perspektiv han kjente fra Edmund Husserl, grunnleggeren av fenomenologien. ... I boka "Den meningsfulle oppbygningen av det sosiale livet" (1932) følgte Schütz Max Weber i tanken om at samfunn og kultur dreier seg om samhandling, der forskeren må gripe meninga som ligger i handlingene. ... Det er denne «oppbygningen» som er blitt til «konstruksjon» i Peter Bergers og Thomas Luckmanns "The Social Construction of Reality". Berger og Luckmann hadde studert sosiologi hos Schütz i New York. Da hadde Schütz utvikla perspektivet sitt ved å inkludere teoriene til ei rekke amerikanske forskere i sosiologi, psykologi og filosofi. ... Målgruppa for artikkelsamlinga er forskere og studenter i samfunnsfag og humaniora, men også forskere i naturvitenskap som trekker inn samfunn og kultur i sine studier. ... Erik Karlsaune har oversatt artiklene av Schütz og skrevet et etterord om oversettelsesarbeidet. Kåre Fuglseth har skrevet en introduksjon som gir et utsnitt av Schütz' biografi og kort presenterer artiklene i boka.

This volume contains a translation of four early manuscripts by Alfred Schutz, unpublished at the time, written between 1924 and 1928.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.

This book contains texts devoted by Alfred Schutz to the "normative" areas of literature and ethics. It includes writings dealing with the author-reader relationship, multiple realities, the literary province of meaning, and Schutz's views on equality. Never published in English commentaries on Goethe's novel and the account of personality in the social world appear in this volume.

This book shows how phenomenology of the social sciences differs from positivistic approaches, and presents Schutz's theory of relevances--a key feature of his own phenomenology of the social world. It begins with Schutz's appraisal of how Husserl influenced him, and continues with exchanges between Schutz and Eric Voegelin, Felix Kaufmann, Aron Gurwitsch, and Talcott Parsons. This book presents, for the first time, Schutz's incisive criticisms of T. S. Eliot's theory of culture.

Le Chercheur et le quotidien (dont la premiere traduction a paru en 1987 chez Meridiens Klincksieck) est un recueil de textes selectionnes a partir des Collected Papers (la principale publication d'Alfred Schutz - 1971) pour donner, au public francais, acces a son uvre. Passer du concept a l'objet. Voila ce a quoi s'emploie, avec une rigueur, la demarche phenomenologique en general, celle de Schutz en particulier. C'est bien ce a quoi il convient d'etre attentif quand on sait comment la sociologie est la cible, de nos jours, de nombreuses critiques. Toutes, d'ailleurs, ne sont pas infondees. Car, outre les lassantes et pueriles querelles qui la dechirent, il faut bien reconnaitre qu'elle a une facheuse tendance a etre en retard d'une guerre concernant ce que Durkheim appelait les caracteres essentiels de la vie sociale. Nombreux etant ceux qui en son sein continuent avec lassitude, ennui ou cynisme, a developper des thematiques eculees n'interessant plus personne si ce n'est eux-memes. Il y a donc un defi, et quelques moyens de le relever. Le Chercheur et le quotidien est du nombre et toute l'oeuvre d'Alfred Schutz pourrait etre comprise comme une reponse a la lumineuse remarque de Max Weber: comme etre a " la hauteur du quotidien " ? L'interet d'a present, la thematique du quotidien, c'est bien cela qu'on va lire tout au long de ces pages, et c'est cela qui peut redonner a la sociologie une nouvelle dynamique. Non pas comme un nouvel objet a etudier, encore moins comme un nouveau systeme a appliquer, mais bien comme une mise en perspective, une assomption de ce qui se donne a voir.

Alfred Schutz (1899-1959) stood simultaneously in the camps of philosophy and sociology, and his writings constitute the framework of a sociology based on phenomenological considerations. Schutz's basic contributions issue from a critical synthesis of Husserl's phenomenology and Weber's sociology of understanding. He proceeds on the basis of the irreducible souce of all human knowledge in the immediate experiences of the conscious, alert, and active individual. In this volume Helmut Wagner has selected and skillfully correlated various passages both from Schutz's book The Phenomenology of the Social World and from his scattered papers and essays.

The Structures of the Life-World is the final focus of twenty-seven years of Alfred Schutz's labour, encompassing the fruits of his work between 1932 and his death in 1959. This book represents Schutz's seminal attempt to achieve a comprehensive grasp of the nature of social reality. Here he integrates his theory of relevance with his analysis of social structures. Thomas Luckmann, a former student of Schutz's, completed the manuscript for publication after Schutz's untimely death.

In this book, his major work, Alfred Schutz attempts to provide a sound philosophical basis for the sociological theories of Max Weber. Using a Husserlian phenomenology, Schutz provides a complete and original analysis of human action and its "intended meaning.
