Regarding its methodology, Belvedere highlights the historical and contemporary use of the epoché, eidetic variation, and constitutional analysis in the practices of classical and contemporary social thinkers. Furthermore, he presents a wealth of valuable findings in the history of phenomenological sociology, beginning with the ego agens as the foundation of social life and progressing to higher-level strata such as pragmata, habitualities, social personalities, and institutions.
