Translated, introduced, and annotated by Helmut R. Wagner, this landmark work illuminates Schutz's intellectual debt to Henri Bergson and Edmund Husserl, arguing that lived experience — the very texture of daily existence — is organised into distinct life forms, each governed by its own logic, temporality, and intersubjective reality.\n\nPublished as part of the International Library of Phenomenology and Moral Sciences, this volume occupies a vital place in the canon of Continental philosophy and sociological theory, bridging the gap between abstract philosophical inquiry and the empirical concerns of the social sciences. Schutz writes with meticulous precision, building his arguments layer by layer in a manner that rewards patient, careful reading. Wagner's scholarly apparatus makes this demanding text accessible without diminishing its conceptual depth, making this an indispensable volume for anyone who has ever wondered how human beings construct a shared, meaningful world — and what happens at the edges where those worlds diverge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210282377435,"sku":"2026200014709-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9ac3cae3-4b49-43ee-a031-3d7c73208213.png?v=1788268763","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014709-secondhand-life-forms-and-meaning-structure","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
