- The dissertation is available in English translation in Aron Gurwitsch, Studies in Phenomenology and Psychology, Evanston, Ill., Northwestern University Press, 1966, pp. 175–286. The discussion of marginality in Part IV of that work suggests the theme of the habilitation essay.
- Unless otherwise indicated, page numbers refer to the Kersten translation, Human Encounters in the Social World. Biographical and bibliographical information here is from Métraux's “Preface” to that work and from Lester Embree, “Biographical Sketch of Aron Gurwitsch” in Life-World and Consciousness: Essays for Aron Gurwitsch, ed. Lester Embree, Evanston, Ill., Northwestern University Press, 1972.
- Richard Grathoff, who is preparing this correspondence for publication, confirms this absence in a letter of 27 August 1980: “There is definitely no discussion (or even reference) in the Schutz-Gurwitsch correspondence to the “Human Encounters” of Gurwitsch. One may speculate, why from 1939–1959 G. apparently ‘stored’ the issue”. For a speculation of this sort, see the “fourth reason” sketched at the conclusion of this essay.
