Schutzian phenomenology

Schutzian phenomenology, developed by sociologist Alfred Schutz, explores how individuals perceive and interpret their social world. It focuses on the meanings people attach to their experiences and interactions. Schutz emphasized the importance of "intersubjectivity," meaning that our understanding of reality is shaped by shared experiences with others. This approach seeks to understand the subjective perspectives of individuals, revealing how social realities are constructed through everyday life. In essence, it highlights the ways we make sense of our world through our interactions and the meanings we derive from them.
