Interview with Alfred Schutz, 20 November 1958

Summary/Abstract: Mrs. Schutz greeted me at the door of their apartment, just off Central Park West, at about quarter past four. We were barely seated when Dr. Schutz arrived. Dr. Shutz said he was not an economist, that he had studied philosophy of the law and that he had been a student of Kelsen. He came to the social sciences from that angle and developed an interest in sociology especially. He said there were a number of economists in Mises seminar—Hayek, Machlup, Haberler, Morgenstern, etc. But the seminar included also several non-economists. Felix Kaufmann, for instance, was a philosopher, interested in methodology and the philosophy of law. Vögelin, also a Privatdozent at the University, was a member of the seminar. He left Vienna when Hitler came and migrated to the United States, although he was in no way Jewish.
