(1984) Alfred Schutz, Dordrecht, Springer.
There are at least three ways to read Alfred Schutz's The Well-informed Citizen: An Essay on the Social Distribution of Knowledge.' One may view it as a contribution to what Schutz calls a "theoretical science dealing with the social distribution of knowledge' (1964, Schutz, p. 121). Seen thus, the essay poses a challenge to the "claim that the sociology of knowledge was the exclusive field of a Marxian interpretation of all thinking as "product" of material social conditions' (Wagner, 1983, p. 89).
