Reflections on the Problem of Relevance

Reflections on the Problem of Relevance by Schutz, Alfred. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780300012217.

Alfred Schutz, more than any other phenomenologist, attempted to relate the thought of Edmund Husserl to the social world and the social sciences. His Phenomenology of the Social World supplied philosophical foundations for Max Weber’s sociology and for economics, with which he was familiar through contacts with colleagues of the Austrian school. Schutz fled Hitler’s Anschluss of Austria and immigrated to the United States in 1939
