GROS, Alexis Emanuel. Alfred Schütz, interpretive sociologist: Revisiting the Schützian interpretation of Weber. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2017, vol.79, n.4, pp.755-784. ISSN 2594-0651.

This paper seeks to systematically reconstruct Alfred Schütz’s interpretation of Max Weber’s interpretive sociology, in three steps. First, it presents the main tenets of the Weberian sociological approach, understood as a critical response to positivist sociology. Second, it outlines the central features of Schütz’s ambivalent reception of Weber. Lastly, it provides a detailed examination of the way Schütz takes up Weber’s proposal in the three stages of his intellectual development.
