Abstract

Phenomenology refers to a 'philosophical movement' founded by the German philosopher Edmund Husserl (1859-1938), which has influenced numerous disciplines in the social sciences, including sociology and the academic study of religion. The phenomenology of religion has played a significant role in supporting the claim that the study of religion occupies a distinct place in the social sciences alongside sociology, psychology, history, geography, and other academic subjects. In sociology, Alfred SchÃƒÂ¼tz (1899-1959) is most associated with phenomenology, particularly for his analysis of the relationship between subjectivity and objectivity in social contexts and in human decision-making.
