 Structure
and Diversity : Studies in the Phenomenological Philosophy of Max
Scheler (Phaenomenologica, Vol 141) by Eugene Kelly
This book explores some foundational concepts of
Scheler's phenomenological philosophy. Seldom or inadequately explored
features of his thought, such as the concept of essence, the notion of
fate and milieu as foundational of the human person, and the pedagogical
and historical implications of his vision of a balancing-out of world
cultures, are each related to the phenomenological procedures that
Scheler adapted from E. Husserl. This is the first contribution to the
specifically phenomenological aspects of Scheler's philosophy since E.W.
Ranly's Scheler's Phenomenology of Community, published in 1966,
and the only one to develop a global reading of Scheler's thought based
upon the manuscripts by Scheler that have been published since 1973.

On
Feeling, Knowing, and Valuing : Selected Writings (Heritage of
Sociology) by Max
Scheler, Harold J. Bershady (Editor)
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 Knowledgeand
the editor of Social Class and Democratic Leadership - Essays in Honor of E. Digby Baltzell

Scheler's
Critique of Kant's Ethics (Series in Continental Thought, No 22) by
Philip Blosser
A gracefully-executed display of blinding reason,
sheer eloquence and raw intellectual brilliance, "Scheler's
Critique of Kant's Ethics" belongs on the bookshelf of every
professional scholar of philosophy. In an environment largely dominated
by the blatant sophistry and sentimental ego-stroking of postmodernist
deconstructionism, Dr. Philip Blosser shines forth from the faculty
department of Lenoir-Rhyne College as a beacon of hope and promise on
the academic horizon. -- Anonymous Review
