La compassione come orientamento affettivo Scheler critico dell'etica di Schopenhauer

2023 - Franco Angeli

102-113 p.

  • In order to show what space compassion carves out within Max Scheler's phe¬nomenology of emotional life, in the first section it will be presented and discussed the ar¬guments that Scheler points out to criticize the Schopenhauerian thesis that, despite compas¬sion is a mysterious phenomenon, it must be considered as the only authentic moral impulse. This critical comparison will allow us to understand, more accurately, what the conditions of possibility of that genuine compassion are. Accordingly, Scheler considers this kind of emotional experience a true antidote to affective diseases that can compromise the evaluati¬ve abilities of the human being. In doing so, the difference that exists between compassion and some phenomena of 'co-feeling' that characterize emotional life, will be more under¬standable. [Publisher's text].
