Using posthumous manuscripts, the author shows that Scheler conceived the origin of time in the self-activating center of individual and universal life as threefold ‘absolute’ time of a four-dimensional expanse. This serves as a basis for establishing the phenomenon of objective time in multiple steps of constitutionality, including the physical field theory and theory of relativity.

This book is designed to fill a long-standing gap in the general literature of 20th century philosophy in that it offers a comprehensive view of the philosophy of Max Scheler (1874-1928) and opens up substantial discussions that have hitherto been largely overlooked. The book is solely based on the original texts of the German Collected Edition as well as posthumous and untranslated materials.

Pourquoi éprouve-t-on de la sympathie ? Qu'est-ce que cette disposition qui nous fait partager les sentiments de souffrance ou de joie d'autrui ? Quelles en sont les formes ? La sympathie a-t-elle quelque chose à voir avec la morale ? En étudiant les lois de la vie affective, ce livre riche et original est une contribution précieuse à la compréhension des rapports que nous entretenons les uns avec les autres dans la société moderne.
