Alfred Schutz is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Philosopher and sociologist of the phenomenology of meaning and everyday language.
Alfred Schutz was a philosopher and sociologist who founded social phenomenology, analyzing how shared meaning and the taken-for-granted 'lifeworld' of everyday experience are constituted through intersubjective understanding. His work bridged Husserl's phenomenology and Weber's interpretive sociology and shaped ethnomethodology. Born to a Jewish family in Vienna, he fled Nazism and taught at the New School in New York.
