On Feeling, Knowing, and Valuing by Max Scheler

On Feeling, Knowing, and Valuing by Max Scheler

One of the pioneers of modern sociology, Max Scheler (1874- 1928) ranks with Max Weber, Edmund Husserl, and Ernst Troeltsch as being among the most brilliant minds of his generation. Yet Scheler is now known chiefly for his philosophy of religion, despite his groundbreaking work in the sociology of knowledge, the sociology of emotions, and phenomenological sociology. This volume comprises some of Scheler's most interesting work—including an analysis of the role of sentiments in social interaction, a sociology of knowledge rooted in global social and cultural comparisons, and a cross-cultural theory of values—and identifies some of his important contributions to the discussion of issues at the forefront of the social sciences today. Editor Harold J. Bershady provides a richly detailed biographical portrait of Scheler, as well as an incisive analysis of how his work extends and integrates problems of theory and method addressed by Durkheim, Weber, and Parsons, among others. Harold J. Bershady, professor of sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, is the author of Ideology and Social Knowledge and the editor of Social Class and Democratic Leadership.

MAX SCHELER (1874-1928) taught at the Universities of Jena, Munich, and Cologne. He studied under Dilthey and Simmel, and his philosophy of the lived body deeply influenced Merleau-Ponty. Edith Stein was one of his students, and Pope John Paul II wrote among other works on him, his Habilitation on Scheler. Scheler disagreed with Husserl's phenomenological methods and instead pursued phenomenological intuition.
