Following the thematic divisions of the first three volumes of
Alfred Schutz's Collected Papers into The Problem of Social
Reality, Studies in Social Theory and Phenomenological Philosophy,
this fourth volume contains drafts of unfinished writings, drafts
of published writings, translations of essays previously published
in German, and some largely unpublished correspondence. The drafts
of published writings contain important material omitted from the
published versions, and the unfinished writings offer important
insights into Schutz's otherwise unpublished ideas about economic
and political theory as well as the theory of law and the state. In
addition, a large group contains Schutz's reflections on problems
in phenomenological philosophy, including music, which both
supplement and add new dimensions to his published thought. All
together, the writings in this volume cover Schutz's last 15 years
in Europe as well as manuscripts written after his arrival in the
USA in 1939. Audience: Students and scholars of phenomenology,
social theory and the human sciences in general.
This anthology originated from three conferences, which were held
at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan, on March 26-28, 1999, at the
Univ- sity of Konstanz, Germany, on May 26-29, 1999 and a session
at the SPHS annual meeting at the University of Oregon, USA, on
October 5-7, 1999. With one exception the contributions to this
volume are revised versions of papers read at these meetings. Each
of these conferences took place in order to celebrate the
centennial of the birthday of Alfred Schutz, who was born April 13,
1899, and died May 20, 1959. First of all we would like to thank
Evelyn Schutz-Lang, the daughter of Alfred and Ilse Schutz, for her
continuing support and encouragement. Moreover, Evelyn Schutz-Lang
as well as Claudia Schutz, the gr- daughter of Alfred and Ilse
Schutz, and the daughter of his son George, gave us the honor of
visiting the Konstanz conference in 1999. Evelyn also came to the
Oregon conference and sent her personal greetings to those
attending the Tokyo conference. We would like to thank Waseda
University, the Waseda Sociological Association, the Waseda
University International Conference Center, and the Center for
Research in Human Sciences in Japan for their generous financial
support, as well as the German Research Council (Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft), the University of Konstanz, the Alfred
Schutz Memorial Archives in Konstanz, and the Sparkasse Konstanz
for their considerable financial assistance in making the
conferences possible.
This edited volume presents the life and thought of Kurt H. Wolff,
a Jewish refugee from Darmstadt, a student of Karl Mannheim,
practitioner of the sociology of knowledge, translator of the
classic works of Simmel, Durkheim, and Mannheim, and creator of the
radical existential sociology of surrender-and-catch, through
multiple modalities. Two interviews provide an autobiographical
portrait. Testimonies by close family members, friends, and
colleagues allow the reader a more intimate insight into his
subjectivity. Excerpts from a travelogue journal kept by his
spouse, Carla E. Wolff provide an understanding of how the Wolff's
interpreted their situation and times. Several chapters devoted to
explicating Wolff's place in the sociological tradition, especially
in light of his work in the sociology of knowledge. Several
chapters exhibit creative work in the further development of his
thought, especially concerning his surrender-and-catch. The thrust
of the book is to explicate Wolff's relation to the tradition and
to the orientation to which he belongs while at the same time to
exhibit how he develops a sociology of radical commitment. This
commitment can demand great existential risk in the quest to
uncover the universal in the unique-the creation of new meaning
(the catch) though the surrender. Wolff's hope is to find
possibilities for humankind that lead us out of the crises, to
which traditional scientia has been disappointingly ineffective.
