Notes
- 1.
The term syncretism is usually used negatively as a label for an uncritical mixing-together of elements from various philosophical systems. Schutz seems to introduce it here with a positive connotation, meaning a treating-together of ‘things’ which have been arbitrarily separated by the criticized analytical method.
- 2.
The figures 1, 2, 3 were written at the end of this paragraph. They could have been meant as indicators of successive footnotes, since three notes were set down at the bottom of the page. However, it seems more likely that the three notes indicate three additional points Schutz intended to insert between this and the next paragraph. Leaning to the second explanation, I have placed them in the text.
- 3.
According to the Cartesian theory of occasionalism, seemingly causal relations (e. g., between spirit and body) are merely occasioned by a third agent; they do not originate in the necessities of the corresponding phenomena themselves.
- 4.
During his years of study, and possibly up to 1924, Schutz subscribed to a neo-Kantian position. The following paragraphs mark his radical departure from this philosophical approach.
- 5.
I was unable to ascertain which edition of Kant’s writings Schutz was using.
- 6.
This short paragraph has been lifted from a different short manuscript of UM 1925–1927a.
- 7.
In ordinary German language, the verb dauern means to last, to persist. In this context, Schutz plays on his translation of Bergson’s term, “duree” by the noun Dauer but links the corresponding verb dauern to the meaning of the French noun. To translate the statement “Ich dauere” literally by “I persist” would be grossly misleading.
