Notes

  1. 1.

    All of the headings added are from the Table of Contents at the end of Schutz’s 1936 manuscript; see above, p. II./7061.

  2. 2.

    This part of a manuscript, with the heading, “The Unity of the Body,” was previously unknown (following the 1936 arrangement the heading ought to read, “The Role of the Body;” see above p. II./7061). Because the pages are missing in the Schutz Nachlass, they have a different numbering than those in the microfilm of other parts in the Nachlass. When reviewing the Schutz correspondence, this chapter was found with a handwritten letter, dated (obviously erroneously) 28 December 1928, from Eric Voegelin expressing his interest in the heading of this manuscript and asking to see it. Schutz answered his request in a letter of 19 December, 1945, with which he enclosed the following chapter.

  3. 3.

    Schutz alludes here to his familiarity with several late manuscripts of Husserl which he discussed with Husserl on his regular visits to Freiburg in 1933. Schutz later edited these manuscripts on the constitution of space and the surrounding world, publishing them in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, I, September, 1940, pp. 21–37, 218–226; and Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, VI, No. 3, March, 1946 pp. 323–343; and in Philosophical Essays in Memory of Edmund Husserl, edited by Marvin Farber, Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1940, pp. 305–326.

  4. 4.

    Schutz particularly refers here to Husserl’s Cartesianische Meditationen as well as to Scheler’s Formalismus.

  5. 5.

    Under the heading of the catchwords, “theory of the argument by analogy,” Schutz no doubt refers to the critical discussion of Max Scheler chiefly directed to Theordor Lipps; see Scheler, Wesen und Formen der Sympathie, 7, pp. 20ff, 215 ff. (Eng. Translation, pp. 9 ff., 220 ff..). See also Husserl, Cartesianische Meditationen, §§44, 52; and Ernst Cassirer, Philosophie der symbolishen Formen, III: Phänomenologie der Erkenntnis, Oxford: Bruno Cassirer, 1954, pp 96 ff. (Ernst Cassirer, The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms. Vol. III: The Phenomenology of Knowledge. English translation by Ralph Manheim. Introductory Note by Charles W. Hendel New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1957, pp. 82 ff.}. Also see Schutz’s later essay. “Scheler’s Theory of Intersubjectivity and the General Thesis of the Alter Ego,” CP I, pp. 150 ff.

  6. 6.

    In the original manuscript, on the left margin of the page next to this sentence there is the entry: “Pathology.” The stories about the ridiculous situations go back to so-called Lalebuch (l597); cf. Das Lalebuch (1597) mit den Abweichungen und Erweiterungen der Schiltbürger (1598) und des Grillenvertreibers (1603), edited by Karl von Bahder, Halle a. d. S.: Niemeyer, 1914. The story about the entanglement of the legs takes place during a bout of wild drunkenness; see ibid., Chapter 29, pp. 110 f.
