Abstract

The letters exchanged by Alfred Schutz and Talcott Parsons show how they failed to communicate. Nevertheless, "methodology" is equivalent to Wissenschaftslehre or theory of science for Schutz, there is a place for it in science as well as in philosophy, and both interlocutors recognized it and could have conversed in the connection, but, again, did not.
