TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Max Scheler on Man’s Place in Nature
Friday 22 August 2024 is the 151st anniversary of the birth of Max Ferdinand Scheler (22 August 1874 – 19 May 1928), who was born in Munich on this date in 1874.
Scheler’s abiding interest was in philosophical anthropology, to which he devoted his last, short work, Man’s Place in Nature. I discuss this book and Scheler’s conception of the distinctive place of human beings in the cosmos. I characterize philosophical anthropology as a kind of metaphysical orienteering that gives us our existential positionality.
