About this listen

Upon Scheler's death in 1928, Martin Heidegger remarked that he was the most important force in philosophy at the time. The Human Place in the Cosmos, the last of the works Scheler completed, is a pivotal piece in the development of his writing as a whole, marking a peculiar shift in his approach and thought.

The book is published by Northwestern University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.

Most relevant

This is the first book I have encountered of Scheler. I downloaded it because of Heidegger’s praise of Scheler as a thinker. This text weaves together ideas from science, psychology and philosophy, and Scheler develops a perspective that is has echoes of phenomenology, Hegelianism and process theology, yet is his own. I wouldn’t put this text in the same category as some of the more well known titles of German philosophy - for example, Being and Time - but that doesn’t mean that Scheler isn’t a perceptive philosopher.
