Abstract
Although Schutz criticized Husserl and Sartre's theories of alter ego as solipsism, Schutz himself has often been criticized as a solipsist. This paper aims at affirming him as a solipsist in resistance to the sociological taboo of solipsism. Schutz appears as a phenomenological sociologist in the history of sociology, but his theory also had psychological aspects. When we forget these aspects of Schutz's thought the problem of sociological discrimination arises. Mixing his non-subjectivist and conservative images increases this problem.
