Schutzian sociology

Schutzian sociology, developed by philosopher Alfred Schutz, studies how individuals create and interpret their social worlds through everyday experiences. It explores how people understand others' actions, maintain shared meanings, and organize their social interactions based on common knowledge, habits, and cultural backgrounds. Essentially, it examines the subjective perspective behind social behavior, emphasizing that social reality is constructed through individuals’ perceptions and meanings rather than solely external structures. This approach helps us understand how meaning and understanding shape social life at a personal level.
