Formalism In Ethics And Non Formal Ethics Of Values by Max Scheler

A New Attempt Toward the Foundation of an Ethical Personalism

This philosophical work delves into the intricate relationship between ethics and values, challenging the traditional formalist approach to moral philosophy. It explores the concept of values as independent entities that exist beyond subjective human experience, proposing a hierarchy of values that influence human emotions and actions. The text critiques the limitations of formal ethics, which often rely on rigid principles and rules, and instead advocates for a more intuitive understanding of moral values that considers the richness and diversity of human experiences. Through this exploration, it seeks to redefine the foundation of ethical thought by emphasizing the dynamic and non-formal nature of values.
