"Alfred Schutz's Sociological Aspect of Literature" is a comprehensive collection compiled from Alfred Schutz's scattered writings over a period of 35 years. The main text is based on a lecture Schutz delivered in 1955 and offers an in-depth analysis of literary theory from a sociological perspective. This collection not only presents Schutz's own reflections but is also enriched by supplementary essays from scholars in Germany, Japan, and the United States. These contributions come from various disciplines, including anthropology, philosophy, and sociology, and reflect the main themes of the text as well as broader questions. The essays were originally presented during a research symposium at the New School for Social Research and provide a critical engagement with Schutz's work and phenomenology. The editorship of Lester Embree ensures a careful compilation and contextualization of the content, which is of great interest to students and researchers in the social sciences.
