Knowledge and Cognition - their Unity and Diversity in Max Scheler's Epistemology
Abstract
Scherrer classic "sociology of knowledge", a book is a TSE in the late works of important books. To more deeply understand the "sociology of knowledge," the meaning of the word Yun, we must first ask three basic questions: First, thank Le referred to the "sociological" Why? Second, Scherrer meaning of "knowledge" Why? Third, Scherrer meaning of "sociology of knowledge," Why? This, in order to clarify the second question, we need to distinguish between this two terms of Scherrer ─ ─ "knowledge" and "cognitive" ─ ─ similarities and differences, and to indicate: the two words in the sense of differences on the resulting theory of TSE in the context of their knowledge, respectively, extended the "sociology of knowledge" and "cognitive theory" both. Harmony to say, this two belong to a whole; decomposition in words, they are different in the same overall dimensions, focus, and theoretical scope, so that there were necessary to play. When we attempt to make a study on Scheler's epistemology, we may be fascinated by the fact that Scheler has made a distinction between "Cognition". The meanings of the two words overlap each other; but, they are by no means synonyms. And, the nuance embedded within the two words has enabled Scheler to visualize respectively the main outlines of his Sociology of Knowledge and his Theory of Cognition
