  Alfred Schutz [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Alfred Schutz was born in Vienna in 1899.
Schutz’s project as a philosopher was then to reflect on the practices of the cultural sciences, asking intelligent questions and learning from the scientists themselves, and then interpreting for them what they do, thereby possibly eliminating some difficulties in the foundations of the edifice of science that they seldom inspect.
Overall, Alfred Schutz's work is a model for the philosophical analysis of science that begins from reflective observation on scientific practices as relating to the objects of their provinces and, correlatively, on such objects as theorized about and observed in those practices.

 Alfred Schutz
Schutz agreed with Nagel on several counts, namely that social scientists needed to validate theoretical beliefs, that lack of predictability in the social sciences did not disqualify their scientific character, and that Weber would have been wrong if his method of “subjective interpretation” implied empathy with unobservable, introspective states.
Schutz, usually the value-free describer of social reality, in his conclusion endorses a normative notion of democracy in which it is a duty and a privilege, frequently not available in non-democratic societies, for well-informed citizens to express and defend opinions that often conflict with the uninformed opinions of the man in the street.
Schutz challenged this sense-transfer, however, since one experienced the other's body from the outside, unlike one's own, which was given interiorily (but might the similarities suffice for the transfer?), and he suggested that verification through what was “congruent” behavior drew on social-world presuppositions of how bodies ought to behave.

 Alfred Schutz, phenomenology and research methodology for information behaviour research
In Schutz's words, the ordinary person, acting in the world, is in a biographically-determined situation, doing what he or she does according to the system of relevances that enables them to select from the environment and from interactions with others, those elements that make sense for the purpose at hand.
Schutz adds that the system of relevances according to which I work as 'expert' is imposed by the pre-established problems of the field, and the very existence of this series of conferences exemplifies our collaborative desire to establish the problems of relevance and the appropriateness of methods.
Schutz points out that ideal types are derived for a research purpose at hand and that the types may not be appropriate for a different research purpose.

 Hartmann, Schutz and the Hermeneutics of Action
Schutz insisted upon broadening the concept of action so as to apply the term to much of what was excluded from the class by rationalistic views such as those of Max Weber.
Schutz’s reluctance to deal with issues about absolute value and freedom of the will was almost certainly due in large part to his lifelong effort to establish the moral sciences[2] on a basis more appropriate and rigorous than what had been achieved before, or since.
Schutz's presentations make it seem as if anything taken for granted by the agent can come to stand out as a problematic possibility that might be chosen as an end only on the condition that it conflicts with or interferes in some way with other possibilities that the self is interested in.

Schutz’s thought, like the thought of most significant sociological thinkers and social theorists, responds to the idea that science is a distinctively, even uniquely, rational mode of thought, which is why the discussion of science leads into a discussion of ‘the rationalities’.
Schutz’s project originated in an attempt to clarify the philosophical presuppositions of Max Weber’s proposal that sociology be conceived as the study of social action.
Schutz talks about the way in which one inhabits these ‘provinces of meaning’: contrasting them in terms of the ‘attitudes’ that are appropriate to and dominant within them.

 Schutz, Alfred :: S : Gourt
Alfred Schütz (1899-1959, aka Alfred Schutz) was a philosopher and sociologist.
He was born in Austria and studied law in Vienna, but moved to the United States in 1939, where he became a member of the faculty of the New School for Social Research.
Schütz is probably unique as a scholar of the social sciences in that he pursued a career as a banker for almost his entire life, teaching part-time at the New School for Social Research in New York and producing key papers in phenomenological sociology that fill three volumes (published by Nijhoff, The Hague).

 Alfred Schutz Biography | World of Sociology
Vienna-born philosopher Alfred Schutz developed phenomenology, the study of the development of human consciousness and self-awareness into a sociological science.
After the war, Schutz entered the University of Vienna and studied law under Hans Kelsen, an Austrian and later American legal philosopher and teacher who formulated what is called the "pure theory" of law, meaning that law itself should be logically self-supporting.
Schutz also studied economics under another Austrian-American, Ludwig von Mises, known for his contribution to liberalism in economic theory and his belief in the power of consumers.

 Paradox: Contradiction or Complementarity
Schutz therefore offers a perfect framework in which to discuss Burning Man’s ambient and immediate sonic environment as a pre-communicative basis for the social relationships and interactions that occur.
So although Schutz strongly rejects Halbwachs’s conclusions about the priority of notation over the creation of music, he does want to retain and expand upon the idea of music developing within the flux of time, that is, inner time.
As Schutz conceives of the relationship created by the musical process, we begin to get at how time is implicated.
