Problematical Character of Sense. From M. Weber to A. Schutz. Part II. Experience and Daily Life
Keywords:
sense, experience, methodology, term, social action, understanding, time, meaning, anxiety, fearAbstract
The second part of the article discusses the criticism at M. Weber’s methodology by A. Schutz and the philosophical premises of the phenomenological sociology of Schutz. A distinction between the meaningfulness of actions and the meaningfulness of experiences is considered as a distinction between the initial problems of Weber and Schutz. Along with the well-known influence on Schutz of Husserl’s phenomenology, the influence of Heidegger and W. James on him is revealed. The concept of everyday life in Schutz as a homogeneous field of highest reality and the primary experience of “fundamental anxiety” is subjected to critical analysis. The possibility of using the word “sense” (Sinn) or “meaning” as a philosophical and sociological term is called into question.
