Since its establishment in 1987, Contributions to Phenomenology has published more than 100 titles on diverse themes of phenomenological philosophy. In addition to welcoming monographs and collections of papers in established areas of scholarship,the series encourages original work in phenomenology. The breadth and depth of the Series reflects the rich and varied significance of phenomenological thinking for seminal questions of human inquiry as well as the increasingly international reach of phenomenological research. All books to be published in this Series will be fully peer-reviewed before final acceptance. The series is published in cooperation with The Center for Advanced Research in Phenomenology.

For my teachers Michael Gabel and Joachim Fischer with gratitude. Acknowledgments This book has been long in the making. My gratitude therefore goes first of all to all the very patient contributors. I would also like to thank all the peer reviewers for their time, expertise, and generous feedback both with regard to the individual con- tributions and the book as a whole. My gratitude also goes to Zachary Davis, Haydn Gurmin, and Tracey Ni Mhaonaigh for their generous help in preparing this edition. The colloquium from which the book originated would not have been possible without the cooperation of the German Max Scheler Society and the generous sup- port of the Irish Philosophical Society, the Department of Philosophy at Maynooth University, and the Scholastic Trust, at St Patrick’s College Maynooth—a special thank you to the then Head of Department, Michael Dunne, and the Chair, Pádraig Corkery. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to the two teachers who introduced me to the world of Max Scheler when I was still a student and who have guided me with their knowledge, trust, and support: Michael Gabel and Joachim Fischer. This book is dedicated to them. vii Contents Introduction: Reviving the Dialogue with Max Scheler . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 Susan Gottlöber Part I New Perspectives on Individual Development, Embodiment, and Value Feeling Scheler’s Anti-Representationalism: From Moral Illusions to Moral Facts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 Gemmo Iocco Individual Destiny and Readiness for Self- Reorchestration: Exemplariness and Repentance as Overriding Keys to the Formation of Individuality . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 Bianca Bellini The World as “Representation”: Scheler’s Philosophy of Psychopathology . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 63 Roberta Guccinelli “Das Schema unseres Leibes”: Scheler’s Forgotten Influence on the Contemporary Debate About Embodiment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 101 Maria Chiara Bruttomesso Part II M ax Scheler as Interlocutor Value and Norm: Max Scheler’s Material Value Ethics in Comparison with Windelband’s Transcendental Value Philosophy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 119 Riku Yokoyama Intuiting the Divine?

She received her PhD in 2018 from the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, where she also graduated with a bachelor’s degree focused on the link between phenomenology and self-knowledge, as well as her master’s degree focusing on the link between phenomenology and literature. During her PhD studies, her interest in literature led her to approach the topic of imagination, while her interest in individu- ality led her to approach the topic of self-shaping. During a research period at the Husserl Archives in Leuven (2016) she met Nicolas de Warren, her PhD co- supervisor, who guided her alongside her main supervisor Roberta De Monticelli. Maria Chiara Bruttomesso received her PhD from the University of Verona with a thesis titled “Empathy. A Schelerian Perspective in the Contemporary Debate.” Her main research interests concern the lived body and the attempt to define empa- thy in its different nuances. Her approach is influenced by classical phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive psychology, a multidisciplinary intersection that she has developed also thanks to a scholarship for a research stay at the Center for Subjectivity Research in Copenhagen. She has published several articles in interna- tional journals, mainly on Scheler, value-based perception, the body schema, empa- thy, infant research, and neuroethics. She is also the co-editor of the special issue Max Scheler and the Emotional Turn (Thaumàzein, 2015). Zachary Davis is Associate Professor of Philosophy at St John’s University, Queens, NY. He published numerous articles on the work of Max Scheler as well as the recent English translation of Scheler’s Cognition and Work. He is also the President of the Max Scheler Society of North America. xi
