'''Max Ferdinand Scheler''' ({{IPA|de|ˈʃeːlɐ|lang}}; 22 August 1874 – 19 May 1928) was a German [[philosopher]] known for his work in [[Phenomenology (philosophy)|phenomenology]], [[ethics]], and [[philosophical anthropology]]. Considered in his lifetime one of the most prominent German philosophers,<ref name = "SEP">Davis, Zachary and Anthony Steinbock, "Max Scheler", The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Spring 2019 Edition), Edward N. Zalta (ed.), URL = <https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/spr2019/entries/scheler/>.</ref> Scheler developed the [[philosophical method]] of [[Edmund Husserl]], the founder of phenomenology.

After Scheler's death in 1928, [[Martin Heidegger]] affirmed, with [[José Ortega y Gasset|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."<ref>Heidegger, The Metaphysical Foundations of Logic, “In memoriam Max Scheler,” trans.
