The Origins of Symbolic Interaction and Religion in Husserl's Phenomenology

Journal Title: Journal of the Human and Social Science Researches - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1

Abstract

Since the beginning of the history of humanity, people have constantly struggled with imagination. Societies and individuals have different perceptions of the world, which leads them to describe objects different ways while grasping and making sense of them. Phenomenology has emerged as a form of philosophical thought that has developed based subject-individual and different perceptions of the world.. Schutz, influenced by Weber’s interpretative sociology and blending it with Husserl’s phenomenological thinking, has opened phenomenology to the field of sociology and hence to religious studies as a sociological method that can be used in social sciences to investigate the ways people use in perceiving their daily lives. The purpose of this study is to firstly emphasize Husserl's phenomenology in the thought process from Husserl's phenomenology to Schutz, to examine the critical contribution of this process to both symbolic interaction and the sociology of religion.
