This work is devoted to developing as well as expounding the theory of
the cultural sciences of the philosopher Alfred Schutz (1899-1959).
Drawing on all of Schutz’s seven volumes in English, the book shows
how his philosophical theory consists of the reflective
clarifications of the disciplinary definitions, basic concepts, and
distinctive methods of particular cultural sciences as well as their
species and genus. The book first expounds Schutz’s own theories of
economics, jurisprudence, political science, sociology, and
psychology. It then extends his approach to other disciplines,
offering new theories of archaeology, ethnology, and psychotherapy in
his spirit in order to stimulate the development of Schutzian theories
in these and other disciplines. The second part of the book contains
complementary philosophical chapters devoted to culture, groups, ideal
types, interdisciplinarity, meaning, relevance, social tension, and
verification.
