Max Scheler, Ressentiment - Ressentiment, Comparison, and Valuation - Sadler's Lectures

from Sadler's Lectures · host Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century German philosopher, sociologist of knowledge, and phenomenologist, Max Scheler's work Ressentiment, which provides an interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of that same name. It focuses on the ways in which comparison and valuation between oneself and others figures into ressentiment. Scheler thinks that practically everyone engages in comparison with others, but the ways in which one compares oneself and values oneself is very different between the "noble" and "common" types of persons.
