The articulated unity of being in Scheler's phenomenology. basic drive and spirit

Arthur R. Luther

pp. 1-42

In articles and books on Scheler it is commonplace to mention the difficulty of his thought and the language used to express it. The difficulty is real, but I do not think that it is attributable to the incompleteness of his thought or to its intuitive character. On the contrary, I would say that the intuitive character of Scheler's thought reveals its completeness in a very concrete experiential way. A careful reading of his works as a whole reveals an impressive consistency of vision, a vision that is not without shadows, but a vision that, precisely because of its shadows, will be recognized as one of the most seminal visions of the twentieth century.
