Abstract
phenomenology is not restricted to philosophical domain. In the past half of a century it has put it's imprint on social sciences including sociology. In reaction to positivism it paved the way for the emergence of phenomenological sociology, though it has not been immune from some distortions and misunderstandings. This paper while reviewing some concepts misconcepis and theoretical underpinnings of phenomenological sociology, compares it with Ethnomethodology. In the final section, this author tries to come to conclusions and offer some suggestions and critiques.
