5.0 out of 5 stars Max Scheler, pinnacle of phenomenology, January 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The essays in this book are representative of Max Scheler at his best. His book, Formalism in Ethics and a Non-Formal Value-Ethics (1916, is widely recognized to be the best phenomenological book on ethics, and his Nature of Sympathy (1912) is thought to be a detailed phenomenology of human relations that captures their optimistic side, leaving Sartre to capture their pessimistic side in Part Three, "Being for Others", in Sartre's book Being and Nothingness. It is going out on a limb (but it wouldn't be, if philosophers were more familiar with Scheler) to categorize him as the greatest of the phenomenologists. This was the opinion of the Germans in the 1920s and early 1930s, when phenomenologists had largely left Husserl to study with Scheler and Heidegger's Being and Time (1927) was too new to be sufficiently absorbed. I think the present selection of Scheler's essays should be read by every philosopher.
