This article is a preface to a set of contributions, by which one of the outstanding sociologist of phenomenological sociology, Tomaž Luckamann is presented. Luckmann understands sociology as a humanistic discipline - and notas merely a positivistic or empiricistic science - which should consider a human and society by a genuine optycs, and he strives for a dialogue with other humanities, especially anthropology, history, and philosophy. If sociology was not doing this way, it would prove fiathless to its subject and its particular mission, established already by Max Weber, and radicalized by Alfred Schütz. The subject of sociology is society as part of a human world, which is made and lived by people, who simultaneously are making themselves, as well.
