You know, you’re right. Early on Scheler didn’t have much in common with Schelling, but later on, in his “philosophy of history” phase before his death, he basically became a Schellingian (not surprisingly, both approved of, more or less, by Heidegger).
@@everythingflows3196 Heidegger is supposed to have said that Scheler was the only one who immediately understood Being and Time when it first came out.
@@geopolicraticus Indeed, and he dedicated the subsequent Kantbuch in 1929 to Scheler’s memory. I’ve been on a Scheler kick lately so this video was pretty timely for me. It’s piqued my interest in some of the people Scheler drew upon (Eucken, Sombart, Simmel, Troeltsch, Trietschke, Meinecke), most of whom I only know from secondary sources, buried behind the monument of Weber. Eucken in particular seems very underappreciated as a fundamental source for Scheler. Would love to see a video on him (or any of the aforementioned), if you haven’t posted some already.
Thanks for your very interesting exposition!
You're welcome!
I kept conflating Scheler with Schelling. Some very similar metaphysics, apart from the similar names.
I should do an episode on Schelling too, but I haven't read him recently.
