Abstract

After a brief introduction dedicated to Edmund Husserl, this chapter will provide an in-depth examination of Alfred Schutz’s social phenomenology, Berger and Luckmann’s social construction of reality, and Harold Garfinkel’s ethnomethodology. Many examples will clarify their theories, including Garfinkle’s concepts of “accountability,” “reflexivity,” “indexicality,” and the “unique adequacy requirement of methods.”
