I would like to thank Ian Angus, Lynn Bauman, Erazim Kohák, Kenneth Pike, and Richard Zaner for many conversations that have found their way into this appreciation of Alfred Schutz's work. But they must not be held responsible for what I have done with their insights. This paper was a contribution to the Alfred Schutz Memorial Symposium held at the New School for Social Research on 30 November–1 December, 1989. I would like to thank the conveners of the Symposium (Arthur Vidich, Richard Grathoff, and J. Claude Evans) as well as the commentators (Richard Bernstein, Lester Embree, and Maurice Natanson), the other speakers, and the audience, for their contributions to that memorable occasion.
