摘要: The main goal of Alfred Schutz’s phenomenological life-world analysis was to provide a philosophical foundation the methodology social sciences. Schutz formulated several methodological postulates for social-scientific constructs. postulate adequacy is most crucial one as it bridges common-sense and science, or theory. Many scientists are not aware fact that causal originated in statistics jurisprudence introduced sociology by Max Weber, Weber coined meaning analogy it. built on Weber’s but argues against only adopts scientific constructs actions. As remains loosely formulated, I propose more radical restrictive interpretation can be used an effective criterion evaluating research approaches well empirical studies. Quoting from unpublished letters correspondence which he criticizes approach Austrian Economics, argue would sympathize with such radicalized interpretation, although never admitted public. Finally, some recent developments qualitative presented based attempt achieve adequate research.
