| Synopsis: |
This study, originally published in 1977, focuses on a critical examination of the life-work of Alfred Schutz, the most important and influential `father' of several recent schools of empirical social research.The author shows why Shutz and his followers fail in their attempts to `humanize' empirical social science. The problems they encounter, he argues, are due to their attempt to achieve a methodological synthesis of self-determining subjectivity and empirical criteria of validation, based on Schutz's heuristic adoption of relevant ideas from Weber and Husserl. This is, in effect, an artificial union of subjectivity and objectivity - their `dual vision' - that satisfies neither phenomenological nor naturalist perspectives. Dr Gorman suggests that the radical implications of phenomenology must lead to a consistent, socially-conscious method of inquiry, and, in a final chapter, he re-defines the methodological implications of phenomenology with the aid of existential and Marxist categories. |
