"The book addresses two main questions: What is the human being? And what is the place of the human being in the universe? Max Scheler responds to these questions within contexts of said two projected much larger works but not without reference to scientific research. He covers various levels of being: inorganic reality, organic reality (including plant life and psychological life), all the way up to practical intelligence and the spiritual dimension of human beings, and touching upon the holy. Negotiating two intertwined levels of being, life-energy ("impulsion") and "spirit," this work marks not only a critical moment in the development of his own philosophy but also a significant contribution to the current discussions of continental and analytic philosophers on the nature of the person."--Jacket.… (more)

EL PUESTO DEL HOMBRE EN EL COSMOS

El puesto del hombre en el cosmos (1928) es el fruto de la intención
scheleriana de volver a pensar cuál es la esencia del hombre
y cuál su relación con el mundo que le rodea, una cuestión
que, en la Europa del momento, se revelaba tan problemática
como urgente. De inmediato éxito, tras la muerte del autor el
mismo año de la publicación, la obra se convirtió en punto
de referencia de una antropología filosófica renovada y de
corrientes de pensamiento que siguieron su planteamiento
hasta convertirla en la obra fundacional de la antropología
filosófica moderna

Las líneas fundamentales esbozadas en este texto se concretan
en intervenciones sobre problemas singulares y de interés
inmediato en la Europa de entreguerras, como la cuestión
de la guerra y del militarismo. Por esta razón y por su cone
xión con el tema (ees el hombre fundamentalmente un ser
animal y, por tanto, agresivo, o por el contrario, es un ser
cultural y social?) adquiere relevancía la conferencia La idea de
la paz y el pacifismo, pronunciada por Scheler en el Ministerio
de la Guerra alemán, en Berlín en 1927, y no publicada hasta
después de su muerte.

Οι ιδέες που αναπτύσσει ο συγγραφέας σ' αυτό το μικρό έργο "φιλοσοφικής ανθρωπολογίας" είναι τόσο πρωτότυπες και εκφράζονται με τέτοια γλαφυρότητα ώστε μπορούμε να πούμε ότι συνοψίζει έξοχα τη συνεισφορά του Sheler (1874-1928) στη Δυτική Φιλοσοφία. Το βιβλίο έχει άμεση σχέση με τα μαθήματα που παρέδωσε ο Scheler στο Πανεπιστήμιο της Κολωνίας, από το 1922 μέχρι το 1928, καθώς και με μια διάλεξη που έδωσε στο Ντάρμστατ το 1927 με θέμα "Η ιδιομορφία... της θέσης του ανθρώπου". Πρόκειται, τέλος, για το τελευταίο έργο που ο Max Scheler ετοίμασε προκειμένου να τυπωθεί. Κυκλοφόρησε μετά τον θάνατό του, το 1928.
