What are some of the ambiguities of "understanding of the other self"? How do you think Schutz' observations and thoughts on "understanding of the other self" leads to his theory of the phenomenological descriptions of the formal structures of the social world?
Are there similarities between Schutz' phenomenology and Weber's verstehen? Elaborate please.
Berger and Luckmann writes about "different spheres of reality" or "multiple realities", what do B&L mean by those terms? Can you think of examples from your experience for "multiple realities" or "different spheres of reality"?
B&L stresses the importance of "language" for the creation of social meaning and social order. Why is language so important?
