Max Scheler (1874-1928) decisively influenced German philosophy in
the period after the First World War, a time of upheaval and new
beginnings. Without him, the problems of German philosophy today,
and its attempts to solve them would be quite inconceivable. What
was new in his philosophy was that he used phenomenology to
investigate spiritual realities. The subject of On the Eternal in
Man is the divine and its reality, the originality and
non-derivation of religious experience. Scheler shows the
characteristic quality of that which is religious. It is a
particular essence that cannot be reduced to anything else. It is a
sphere that belongs essentially to humankind; without it we would
not be human. If genuine fulfillment is denied it, substitutes come
into being. This religious sphere is the most essential, decisive
one. It determines man's basic attitude towards reality and in a
sense the color, extent and position of all the other human domains
in life. It forms the basis for various views about life and
thought. Scheler was emphatically an intuitive philosopher. In
Scheler's work the break between being as the almighty but blind
rage and value as the knowing but powerless spirit-has become
complete, and makes of each human a split being. Personal
experiences may be reflected here. The development of Scheler's
work as a whole was highly dependent on his personal experiences.
It is this that gives Scheler's work its liveliness and its
validity.
