Alfred Schütz is widely regarded as one of the most influential sociologists of the twentieth century and a founding figure of phenomenological sociology.
This talk offers an opportunity to engage directly with his thought through his seminal work, The Phenomenology of the Social World, widely considered a foundational text in phenomenological sociology.
This theme is not only of significance to scholars, but also of value to readers interested in philosophy, sociology, and the modern social sciences. It opens up new perspectives on how human beings constitute and share meaning within the social world, while also fostering interdisciplinary dialogue among philosophy, sociology, and phenomenology in the contemporary context.
