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.
