Abstract

The article recapitulates the basic foundations of the thoughts of Alfred Schütz who tries to synthesize the approaches of Edmund Husserl and Max Weber in the field of the methodology of the social sciences. Although Schütz follows Husserlian phenomenological approach very closely in the early period of his work, it is already possible to see a specific emphasis on empirical character of any scientific investigation. This emphasis is inspired by the Weberian arguments and opposes the opinion of another from Schütz's great teachers - Ludwig von Mises. The article gradually analyses the key features of Schütz's own method and shows the fundamental importance of typification and anonymisation in our everyday as well as scientific knowledge of the world we live in. Schütz arrives from the phenomenological starting points to the problematic of Weber's ideal types and at the end on the ground of Austrian economics represented by von Mises where he tries to modify some of Mises' unattainable thoughts regarding the fundamental division between theoretical and historical branches of social science.
