Since the 1980s it was commonly held that the practical action or working (Wirken) plays a central role in the life-world theory of Alfred Schutz. I recognize the significance of this interpretation, yet I question whether practical action alone is sufficient to explain the variety of life-world experiences. The long neglected notions like transcendence and appresentation in Schutz are explored in this paper to treat this question.
