Interesting note: Max Scheler inherited List’s body of work in 1975 and was instrumental in saving and promoting it.

“La última meta del ambicioso no es adquirir una cosa de valor, sino ser más estimado que otros”

Max Scheler

Fue un filósofo alemán, nacido en Múnich en agosto de 1874, de gran importancia en el desarrollo de la fenomenología, la ética y la antropología filosófica, ademas de ser un clásico dentro de la filosofía de la religión.

Max se bautiza en la iglesia católica, su padre era protestante y su madre judía. 

Al finalizar sus estudios básicos, se matricula en la Universidad de Múnich pero al siguiente año decide trasladarse a la Universidad de Berlin para estudiar filosofía y sociología.

En 1897 presenta su tesis doctoral dirigida por Rudolf Eucken, quien fuera galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1908.

Su escrito “El método trascendental y el psicológico” le hace merecedor del nombramiento de docente en la Universidad de Jena y es pen 1902 cuando conoce al filósofo y matemático alemán Edmund Husserl. 

El encuentro con Husserl le hace quedar marcado por el denominado método fenomenológico (el estudio filosófico del mundo, a través directamente de la conciencia).

Derivado de un escándalo provocado por su esposa, de conducta inmoral, Scheler se ve obligado a abandonar la docencia  y se traslada a Berlin en donde con el apoyo de sus amigos y de su incansable capacidad de trabajo, permitió que afloraran la mayoría de sus mejores y mas importantes obras.

Scheler se divorcia de su esposa y contrae matrimonio civil con su alumna María Scheu, en donde fue considerado como apóstata por los creyentes y cristiano disimulado por los si creyentes.

Dentro de algunas de las instituciones mas importantes destacan; “El resentimiento de la moral” (1912), “Los ídolos del conocimiento de si mismo” (1912), “El formalismo en la ética y la ética material de los valores” (1913), “Muerte y supervivencia” (1911-1914) entre muchos otros.

Es muy difícil pensar en gran parte de la ética, de la psicología o de la antropología del siglo XX sin la influencia de Scheler. Sus aportaciones en la filosofía de la religión, y en la Teología moral fueron decisivas.

Se han distinguido tres etapas en la vida de Scheler y en su posición doctrinal. Durante su juventud estuvo dominado por la influencia de Eucken, después seguirá la influencia fenomenológica de Husserl, sin perder sus aficiones vitalistas y afectivistas de Eucken, y su madurez por su posición teista.

La filosofía de Scheler considera fundamentalmente tres problemas o cuestiones dobles; el conocimiento, y los valores, la vida y el hombre, los sentimientos y Dios.

La persona es para Scheler esencialmente espiritual. El espíritu no es, propiamente, ni la inteligencia ni la voluntad: es mas bien un principio nuevo. El acto de separar la existencia y la esencia constituyen la característica diferencial del espíritu humano. En conjunto, el espíritu de la objetividad.

A cada persona corresponde un mundo y a cada mundo una persona, en donde la persona-individuo se articula en una comunidad.

El hombre como realidad natural no escapa a su animalidad, pero el hombre también tiene otro sentido: es el ser que ora, que aspira a trascender; es el buscador de Dios. En donde Dios es un ser vivo y personal.

Max Scheler muere en Fráncfort de Meno en mayo de 1927 a la edad de 52 años.

Max Scheler and Astrid Kirchherr

-

INT: How did you collaborate with Max Scheler?

KIRCHHERR: In the Sixties Max was one of the most important photographers. For example he took pictures of the first transplantation of a heart living for for weeks in quarantaine with the patients. He was working for the Stern, later becoming the editor in chief of the magazine GEO. Together with him I was at the setting for A Hard Day’s Night in 1964.

INT: How did it get to this?

KIRCHHERR: Brian Epstein did not permit photographers. I called George because Stern magazine asked me to be the door opener. George said: 'I will talk to the others. According to me it’s okay when you come to London and take pictures. But they have to pay you, otherwise they may stay at home.' Max gave me a small camera which I never had worked with before. And there were some fine pictures as a result. Especially the pictures of children in Liverpool. Some of them looked really looked like figures in a Charles Dickens novel. (Interview with Astrid Kirchherr)

-

(The following is an Interview with Ulf Krüger, Astrid’s business partner and manager, from 'Astrid Kirchherr: A Retrospective'.)

INT: Did the feature in Stern magazine raise awareness of Astrid’s photography when it was published in 1964? 

Krüger: No, because that’s another story. Astrid was not famous as a photographer then but she was working as an assistant for a really famous photographer, Reinhart Wolf. Stern magazine asked Max Scheler, who was the chief photographer for Stern, to go to England to cover the filming of A Hard Day’s Night and go to Liverpool and see The Beatles. That was their rough idea, but in 1964 The Beatles, already at the top of their career, wouldn’t have reporters of any magazine at the time of filming. So Reinhart Wolf recommended Max (they were friends) ask Astrid to be a sort of ‘door opener’, not a photographer. To cut it very short, Astrid called The Beatles and asked if it was possible to have coverage and The Beatles said yes as long as she was part of it they could do it. So Astrid went to England with Max, but he was the photographer and Astrid was the ‘door opener’. Of course Max knew she was a photographer and gave her a camera and she took a lot of photos as well but she didn’t have the job from Stern magazine. When Astrid had shot film she gave the film to Max because he was the boss and Max gave all the films to Stern with his stamp on. So the articles in Stern magazine don’t mention the credit Astrid Kirchherr, it’s all Max Scheler. 

…

I found out where Max was living, called him, explained who I was and asked him why he had Astrid’s photos printed with his credit, and he told me he really didn’t know about that but acknowledged that I was right. He had sent all the films to Stern magazine and it was a Max Scheler thing so the credit was always Max Scheler. He apologised and asked to meet to return the negatives to Astrid which was great. So we met and Astrid and Max sorted out the photos and so the beautiful photos with the Liverpool kids ended up being Astrid Kirchherr copyright. Nice story. 

INT: Do you think the issues you confronted as Astrid’s manager were connected to her working as a female photographer at that time?

Krüger: I think it had a lot to do with that, especially being a special woman. Astrid used to dress in a special way when she met The Beatles, wearing leather trousers, leather jackets and things like that. That was really unusual for a young woman in Germany and I’m quite sure it was unusual in England as well, or in Japan or wherever. So, one one hand, she was special, maybe people were even a bit frightened because she was self-conscious and things like that. On the other hand, she was just a woman because business was dominated by men then, still is, and so that’s one of the additional problems I think. They only liked the Beatles photos because they couldn’t realise that a photo of Rory Storm for example is a beautiful classical shot, they didn’t realise it because it was not a Beatle and that could disappoint an artist heavily I think. So that’s how it was, still it’s a bit discriminating. Women are not paid like men, are not respected like men in many cases, and that’s not good, and it was much worse then.

Max Scheler, Ressentiment tr. Lewis A. Coser

I think we can all understand the example of Tertullian or the reactionary attitude. The claim about philosophical criticism also suffering from a degree of "ressentiment" is more puzzling maybe.

Is 'contrastive' thinking necessarily an expression of ressentiment? (e.g. If the flaws of B help me appreciate A more than I would have otherwise). Even if Scheler doesn't reach that conclusion, does he come a bit too close? Surely we're meant to appreciate the genuinely "resurrected" person in contrast to the vengeful type that Tertullian embodies.

In any case, I don't think I'm free from ressentiment myself, and certainly Scheler wasn't either at the time he wrote this, given his support for German aggression during WWI. Specifically his framing the conflict as a kind of spiritual struggle against English and French values if I remember correctly.

“[I feel] more fragile when it comes to music [these days]. If a car comes past me in a traffic jam with a boom box going, I jump out of my skin. Those big booming basses. I’m just more sensitive to noise these days.” - George Harrison, AP, February 2001

“George was never very comfortable with that level of fame. The Beatles had experiences where they realized, on tour, that they were trapped in their hotel room. They couldn’t go anywhere. That’s when George realized what fame had done to them, and he didn’t like it. He didn’t understand why HE was famous. Why him and not somebody else?” - Pattie Boyd, American Photo, July/August 2008

“He was shell-shocked from the whole Beatle experience. Literally shell-shocked. He hated loud noises. And imagine if all day, every day, for five or six years, people were screaming at you when you opened your door, jumping on the hood of your car, looking in your window. And then there were the death threats. He wanted to be far away. And he wanted sunshine.” - Olivia Harrison, Architectural Digest, August 2007

“If you had 2 million people screaming at you, I think it would take a long time to stop hearing that in your head. George was not suited to it. […] George talked a lot about his nervous system, that he just didn’t want to hear loud noise anymore. He didn’t want to be startled. He didn’t want to be stressed.” - Olivia Harrison, Rolling Stone, September 15, 2011 (x)
