Max Scheler, Ressentiment - Sources Of Ascetic Actions and Judgments - 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 his discussion in the third part of the work "Christian Morality and Ressentment" of the differing possible motivations for engaging in ascetic actions and judgements, which range from dynamics of ressentiment rightly identified as such by Nietzsche, to educating members of a society for activities like war, to an overflow and abundance of life, to love of one's spiritual self and the desire to perfect and hallow it.
