SCHUTZ, Alfred (1899-1959), developed phenomenology as a sociological science. Born in Vienna, Alfred Schutz
studied law and social science under Hans Kelsen and Ludwig von
Mises. He published Phenomenology of the Social World in
1932 which combined Weber's sociology with Husserl's
phenomenological method. Schutz went to Freiburg, briefly, to
work with Husserl. He left Vienna in 1939 for the US where he was
first lecturer and then professor at the Graduate Faculty of
Political and Social Sciences at the New School, New York. He
also wrote Structures of the Life World (two vols.) with
Thomas Luckmann and a posthumous edition of Collected Papers
edited by Maurice Natanson (1962)
