Alfred Schutz as a critic of social ontological Robinsonades

Abstract: Alfred Schutz tends to be falsely considered as an illustrious representative of social ontological individualism. In this paper, I seek to correct this flawed interpretation of his work by means of a revisitation of his criticism of what I - taking up a Marxian term - call the “robinsonades” intrinsic to Husserl's 5th Cartesian Meditation. It is my contention that the systematic reconstruction of this classical criticism makes it possible to lay bare Schutz's actual ontological account, namely: social ontological intersubjectivism.
