Abstract

This article aims to evaluate the Franz Brentano’s ethics’s influence on the Max Scheler’s axiology. That influence is ambivalent, i.e., Scheler accepts some thesis and rejects others. The article’s idea is, on the one hand, that the Brentano’s positive influence is decisive for Scheler. On the other hand, the disagreement between both of them is partly real and partly rather apparent. And this apparent disagreement discovers precisely two points which deserves more reflection: the nature of axiological perception and the nature and function of love.
