Alfred Schütz theory of society is based on the idea that we have a stock of knowledge and social consciousness in daily life. The life-world of an individual is derived from experiences, shared experience is part of social relationships. Where for example two individuals will see a car pass by, they create a shared experience. A person will extend shared experiences and shared typifications into his life-world or common world. This world is shared with other individuals who, based on typificitions have the same view or shared world. Communities create a shared stock of knowledge using typifications, which help to solve recurrent problems and create further knowledge. Schütz has used everyday life as a example for his theory of society. Explaining taken for granted actions and typifications in society using stock of knowledge as a shared knowledge of society.
