What is Schutzean phenomenology?

Abstract

My aims is to portrait Schutzian phenomenology in its full extent by systematically exposing its various dimensions. I will start presenting phenomenological and eidetic reductions as mere technical devices. Then I will show how, in Schutz, they are both interconnected with phenomenologycal psychology. After that, I will argue that phenomenological psychology leads to worldly phenomenology and I will explore its consequences for transcendental philosophy and the empirical sciences. I will conclude with some reflections on how worldly phenomenology finds absolute certainty in the lifeworld and not in the transcendental realm.
