The Life-World Landscape of "Well-Informed" Alfred Schütz

Rade Dragojević

Abstract

The term of "life-world" that originated in Edmund Husserl's philosophy has it’s full heuristic application in the work of the sociologist Alfred Schütz. He presents an interesting theory on formation of the social world, a theory equipped with reach scheme of categories that has, later on, often been used in other sociological schools which relied on his phenomenology (ethnomethodology, Berger’s and Luckmann’s sociology of knowledge). The term "life-world" itself can be applied within philosophy, theory of sociology and epistemology, while in the political sciences it had been practiced in Jürgen Habermas’ theory of communication.
