Understanding/Sociology/Schütz/Habermas: Schütz thesis: we make at least three preliminary methodological decisions by choosing basic concepts of action theory:
1. We describe social reality in such a way that it is conceived as a construction of the everyday world that emerges from the interpretative achievements of the participants.(1)
Habermas III 177
2. The scientist has to ask which model of an individual being can be constructed and which typical contents are to be assigned to it.(2)
3. The theoretical concepts must follow the pre-theoretical concepts in which the members interpret their situation.(3)
