(German phenomenologist, social philosopher, and sociologist of knowledge). Scheler was born in Munich, studied in Jena, and came into contact with phenomenology upon his return to Munich in 1907. He was acquainted with both Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, though he was not altogether uncritical of their work. Upon his conversion to Catholicism after World War I, he began phenomenological analyses of religious phenomena and feelings, and later turned his attention to anthropology and natural science. At the core of Scheler’s philosophy is his theory of the essential and objective, though non-Platonic, nature of values.
