From Schutz to Goffman: The Search for Social Order

Abstract

The revival of the ideas of Alfred Schutz among Austrian economists is examined. In particular, this paper looks at Schutz's work on intersubjectivity as an alternative approach to market coordination. As opposed to the rational maximization of individuals, some have argued that Schutz's concept of intersubjective structures of meaning offers a better model for understanding how individuals act in the social world. This paper questions the soundness of utilizing Schutz's approach and suggests that the work of the sociologist Erving Goffman offers a potential model of social interaction that encompasses many elements of Schutz's framework but does not share the same limitations. Drawing on selected works of Goffman, a tentative model of social interaction and decision-making is put forward for discussion and further research. Copyright 2001 by Kluwer Academic Publishers
