Scheler's Ethical Personalism

"Max Scheler, one of phenomenology's earliest and greatest figures, has become a major voice in the formulation of phenomenological ethics through his theory of ethical personalism. Spader follows Scheler's use of the classic phenomenological approach by means of which he presented a fresh view of values, feelings, and the person, and thereby staked out, a new approach in ethics. Spader recreates the logic of Scheler's quest, revealing the basis of his thought and the reasons for his dramatic changes of direction. This study provides a framework that allows us to understand Scheler's insights in the context of the dynamic evolution of his thought. It corrects imbalances in the presentation of his ideas and defends him against key misunderstandings and criticisms. In short, Spader's work continues the process of developing Scheler's pioneering theory of ethical personalism."--BOOK JACKET.
