Abstract
Phenomenology was founded by Edmund Husserl and Alexander Pfänder at the beginning of the twentieth century. Philosophers in this tradition, such as Adolph Reinach, Max Scheler, Edith Stein, Gerda Walther, and Alfred Schütz provided pioneering descriptive analyses of such social phenomena as: the awareness and understanding of other minds, motives, social acts, collective intentionality, the main forms of social life, and the nature of social objects. These contributions to the phenomenology and ontology of social phenomena were also employed in discussions of social and political philosophy and in the creation by Scheler of the sociology of knowledge.
