Alfred Schutz attempted the critique of whose theory of Social Action ?
Answer: A
Schutz critiqued the theory of social action of Max Weber.
In The Phenomenology of the Social World (1932), Alfred Schutz accepted Weber's aim of understanding the subjective meaning of action but argued that Weber had left the concept of meaning unexamined. Using Husserl's phenomenology, he analysed how meaning is built up in the stream of consciousness and in everyday intersubjective life.
Schutz later corresponded with Parsons about The Structure of Social Action, but his central critique was of Weber. Mead and Pareto developed different theories of action that were not his starting point.
