Alfred Schutz's conception of relevance and its significances for the social sciences

2021 - Franco Angeli

17-36 p.

  • The conception of relevance has come to be increasingly under discussion in various scientific fields under the recent social-cultural-historical conditions of the globalization, digitalization, and liquidation of society. In my opinion, many of these various discussions are, explicitly or implicitly, founded on Alfred Schutz's ideas about relevance. This essay aims to clarify his sociological conception of relevance founded on phenomenological investigations by inquiries into what he said about the concept and problem of relevance through a comparison between Schutz's ideas on how to deal with the incomprehensiveness of the totality of the world with M. Weber's and F. von Hayek's with reference to Schutz's ideas as to how human experience proceeds [Publisher's text].
