Alfred Schutz (/??ts/; born Alfred Schütz, German: [??ts]; 1899–1959) was an Austrian philosopher and social phenomenologist whose work bridged sociological and phenomenological traditions.
Schutz is gradually being recognized as one of the 20th century's leading philosophers of social science.He related Edmund Husserl's work to the social sciences, using it to develop the philosophical foundations of Max Weber's sociology, in his major work Phenomenology of the Social World.
However, much of his influence arose from the publication of his Collected Papers in the 1960s.
