Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schutz primarily saw social action as being oriented toward the behavior of others, as influenced by Husserl's philosophy of intentionality. This includes actions aimed at others' past, present, or future behaviors.

Note: While Weber's ideas on rationalization and institutions may have influenced Schutz's thinking, they are not directly related to his conception of social action.
