Max Scheler (August 22, 1874, Munich - May 19, 1928, Frankfurt am Main) was a German-Jewish philosopher.

Known for his act within phenomenology and philosophical anthropology, famous for his phenomenological insights, Scheler developed farther a philosophic method of a founder of phenomenology, Edmund Husserl, & was known as by Ortega-y-Gasset "the first man of the philosophical paradise." Max Scheler extended a phenomenological method to include a reduction of the scientific method as well, so questioning the idea of Husserl that phenomenological philosophy should become pursued as a rigorous science. Natural & scientific attitudes (Einstellung) come two phenomenologically counterpositive & hence must become sublated in a advancement of the rattling phenomenological reduction which, in the eyes of Scheler, has additional the shapes of an allround asceticism (Askese) like than a mere logical procedure of suspending the experiential judgments. A Wesenschau (or even Wesensschau), based on data from Scheler, is an work of blowing higher a Sosein restricts of Sein A into the essential-ontological domain of Sein B, shortly, an ontological participation of Sosenheiten, seeing a items per se (cf. a Buddhist construct of tathata, and a Christian theological quidditas). Within 1953 Karol Wojtylthe, late Pope John Paul II, defended a thesis in "evaluation of the possibility of founding a Catholic ethic on the ethical system of Max Scheler".
