Abstract
The study of man was always the architectonic study for Max Scheler. In 1927 he wrote:
The questions “What is man?” and “What is man’s place in the nature of things [was ist seine Stellung im Sein?]” have occupied me more deeply than any other philosophical question since the first awakening of my philosophical consciousness. Efforts of many years during which I have attacked this problem from all possible sides have come together…. I have had the good fortune to see that most of the philosophical work I had done previously has culminated in this study.1
