| Popis: | 90 Alfred Schutz (1899~1959) was one of the typical figures of sociologists in twentieth century. He combined properly E. Husserl’s Phenomenology with M. Weber’s sociology of understanding and made it become a unique theory — phenomenological sociology. The main purpose of this study is to inquire the origin of Schutz’s thought, main content, strong and weak points of Schutz’s phenomenological sociology, and the educational meanings implicated in it. Firstly, it is to clarify the origin of Schutz’s phenomenological sociology, including philosophical origin, sociological and psychological origin, and so we may understand how his thought and its context engendered; secondly, it is to explain the main content of phenomenological sociology, including sociology of science, stock of knowledge, sociology of knowledge, and multiple realities, for grasping the essence of Schutz’s thought; thirdly, it is to discuss the distinguishing features and good points, contribution and influence, and its problem and weakness of Schutz’s phenomenological sociology, so to manifest the positive and negative evaluation; lastly, it is to interpret the educational meanings implicated in Schutz’s phenomenological sociology, for revealing the applicability and value of Schutz’s thought in education. The important findings of this study are as follows: 1.The origin of Schutz’s thought can be found mainly from the thought of E. Husserl and M. Weber. 2.The essence of scientific research method,according to Schutz, is to take scientific attitude to make scientific construction. 3.For Schutz, the research methods of the social sciences and the natural sciences have similarities and differences; the special methodological strategy of the social sciences is “understanding”. 4.Schutz’s important description about stock of knowledge includes static analysis and dynamic analysis for stock of knowledge. 5.Schutz’s sociology of knowledge includes the general thesis of the reciprocity of perspectives, the social origin of knowledge, and the social distribution of knowledge. 6.According to Schutz, the social reality is multiple realities, each reality has a particular cognitive style, and the reality of everyday life is the paramount reality. 7.Schutz’s phenomenological sociology is distinctive in its nature. 8.Schutz’s contribution to the social sciences is remarkable. 9.The problem and weakness of Schutz’s thought can be grasped mainly from the part of Schutz’s description of sociology of science, conception of multiple realities, and the different interpretations to Schutz’s thought. 10.Schutz’s phenomenological sociology implicates lots of educational meanings. |
