Resumo: The foundation for Max Weber’s verstehende Soziologie provided by himself was sufficient for him to deal with his concrete sociological problems. It appeared, however, to be insufficient for Alfred Schutz as well as for Talcott Parsons, in spite of their appreciating Weber’s ideas of this sociology as such. Schutz criticized that Weber made little clarification of the fundamental layers of his primary concepts, whereas Parsons criticized Weber’s tendency “to obscure the role of the essentially nonfictional generalized system of theory.” What does this difference among them means? This essay tries to make an answer to this question through comparing Weber and Parsons, Weber and Schutz, and Schutz and Parsons by focusing mainly on the concepts of “Verstehen” (understanding), “action” and “subjective meaning.” Such a comparative investigation is expected to shed light on contributions of phenomenology to sociology.

Contudo, pareceu ser insuficiente para Alfred Schutz assim como para Talcott Parsons, a despeito do reconhecimento de ambos em relação às ideias de Weber sobre essa sociologia enquanto tal. Schutz criticou que Weber pouco esclareceu sobre os fundamentos de seus conceitos mais importantes, enquanto Parsons criticou a tendência de Weber “de obscurecer o papel essencialmente não-ficcional do sistema de teoria generalizado”. O que significa a diferença entre eles? Esse artigo tenta dar uma resposta a esta questão comparando Weber e Parsons, Weber e Schutz e Schutz e Parsons, concentrando-se sobretudo nos conceitos de “Verstehen” (compreensão), “ação” e “significado subjetivo”. Com essa análise comparativa espera-se jogar luzes sobre contribuições da fenomenologia para a sociologia.Editora da Pucrs - ediPUCRS2017-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/civitas/article/view/2806410.15448/1984-7289.2017.3.28064Civitas: journal of Social Sciences; Vol. 17 No. 3 (2017): Sociology and Phenomenology; 389-410Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 17 Núm. 3 (2017): Sociologia e Fenomenologia; 389-410Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 17 n. 3 (2017): Sociologia e Fenomenologia; 389-4101984-72891519-608910.15448/1984-7289.2017.3reponame:Civitas - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Porto Alegre.
