Springer - Max Scheler's Philosophy of Time (Phaenomenologica 169)

Explore a profound expansion of temporal philosophy with Max Scheler's Philosophy of Time. Published by Springer as part of the Phaenomenologica series (169), this work offers a scope that goes beyond the traditional perspectives of Husserl and Heidegger. Using posthumous manuscripts, researcher Frings reveals how Scheler viewed the origin of time within the self-activating center of individual and universal life. This text explains Scheler's concept of absolute time as a threefold dimension within a four-dimensional expanse. It provides a detailed foundation for understanding how objective time is constituted through multiple steps, connecting philosophical thought to physical field theory and the theory of relativity. For scholars and students of phenomenology, this book offers a deep look into how objective time remains anchored in absolute time while maintaining its own significance.
