In my paper I will address two issues concerning the performance of the epoché in Schutz. First I will describe the natural attitude and the role played in its constitution by the epoché peculiar of this realm. Then I will describe five different, concatenated steps we can take starting from it in reach of the transcendental realm and the kind of epoché that give us access to it. I will conclude discussing to what extent Schutz himself practiced all this sorts of methodological procedures. I will observe that the core of his practice of phenomenology is to be found in the description of the constitutional mechanisms of the natural attitude.
