Why did Scheler give up the faith bros

>>16719559
That is the shallow understanding of his thought, of only a very immediate understanding.

>>16719578
>Max Ferdinand Scheler (German: [ˈʃeːlɐ]; 22 August 1874 – 19 May 1928) was a German philosopher known for his work in phenomenology, ethics, and philosophical anthropology. Scheler developed further the philosophical method of the founder of phenomenology, Edmund Husserl, and was called by José Ortega y Gasset "Adam of the philosophical paradise." After his death in 1928, Martin Heidegger affirmed, with Ortega y Gasset, that all philosophers of the century were indebted to Scheler and praised him as "the strongest philosophical force in modern Germany, nay, in contemporary Europe and in contemporary philosophy as such."[1] In 1954, Karol Wojtyła, later Pope John Paul II, defended his doctoral thesis on "An Evaluation of the Possibility of Constructing a Christian Ethics on the Basis of the System of Max Scheler."

Why do I so rarely hear about him?

Both of them are extremely well documented. And if you needed more evidence, read the Spiegel interview mentioned.

>"Philosophy will not be able to effect an immediate transformation of the present condition of the world. This is not only true of philosophy, but of all merely human thought and endeavor. Only a god can save us. The sole possibility that is left for us is to prepare a sort of readiness, through thinking and poeticizing, for the appearance of the god or for the absence of the god in the time of foundering [Untergang] for in the face of the god who is absent, we founder. Only a God Can Save Us."
>"For us contemporaries the greatness of what is to be thought is too great. Perhaps we might bring ourselves to build a narrow and not far reaching footpath as a passageway."

what does bloy reveal about heidegger?

>>16720544
Where does he say "God has always been with me?" That's not the same as saying "Only a God can save us."

>>16720514
His philosophy really is a cheesy "I'm atheist but spiritual."

>>16720567
yeah the shit in b&t about THE CALL was fucking nonsense. equipmentality is the best shit in the book

>>16720548
Catholics of the soul who no longer recognized Catholicism of the church but tried to at least clear the way for a future generation that would be able to have a real church again.

The essence of Catholicism in Heidegger's generation was the desire for renewal and the despair that no official forms of Catholicism recognized or even wanted renewal. The church had become part of the forces it was supposed to help fight.

A new church will only be founded in a new crusade.

Evidently that quote isn't from Der Spiegel.

>>16720567
>reducing any part of Heidegger to "I'm atheist but spiritual."
Not to mention it's impossible, it's literally just a joke.
