Scheler’s Evolving Methodologies

  • Chapter

  57. Scheler had sharply distinguished metaphysical and religious knowledge in his Eternal. The former was spontaneous and active, the latter passive and receptive. As his idea of God changed, the metaphysical and religious attitudes became synonymous.
