§07§Max Scheler saw the anthropological question as providing unity to all philosophical inquiry. So, this book explores four Schelerian conceptions of the human being. The unfolding of these themes opens the reader to a broader and unified view of his philosophy. The book, thus, proposes this approach as a key to understanding Scheler's philosophy. §16§From the first awakening of his philosophical consciousness to his last philosophical§work, Max Scheler pondered questions about the human being. He thought that the§anthropological question provides unity to all philosophical inquiry. Scheler's thought§has not received attention in the English-speaking world as compared to those of his§contemporaries due, among others, to the difficulty those new to him encounter in§finding a common thread that facilitates understanding of his philosophy. Therefore,§this book explores four prominent Schelerian conceptions of the human being, proposes§their unfolding as a key that opens the reader to a broader and unified view of§Scheler's philosophy, and offers a framework within which it could be understood. §04§§DEDICATION - ACKNOWLEDGMENTS - PREFACE - INTRODUCTION - THE HUMAN BEING AS GOD-SEEKER - THE HUMAN BEING AS ENS AMANS - THE HUMAN BEING AS MICROCOSM - THE HUMAN BEING AS GOD'S CO-OPERATOR - CONCLUSION - BIBLIOGRAPHY - INDEX . § §02§Eric Boateng Asare is a priest of the Catholic Archdiocese of Kumasi, Ghana.
