The Charioteer

"The charioteer of the human soul drives a pair of steeds, and one of the horses is beautiful, good, and formed of such elements, whereas the makeup of the other one is quite the opposite." -Phaedrus

Heidegger vs. Scheler: Part I, Introduction

"...a human being's 'Being-in-the-world' is better characterized morally and practically as a 'Being-toward-value'."

Do not the implications of this passage from John White's, Ecological Value Congition and the American Capitalist Ethos, speak volumes about the core difference between Heidegger and Scheler? I will do my best to spell out my take on these implications at a later time.

Of course my roommate assumes this Schelerian notion of 'being-toward-value' is rhetorically depleated and "unabashedly ontic." However, the question, I think, is rather one of an adequate discription of human experience in-the-world. And the war between Heidegger and Scheler, via Dominic and I continues to rage...

Hey Travis. Most certainly you can chime in. I'll try and keep it going. But I have to ask...are you for Scheler or Heidegger?

perhaps the best way to describe it is a mutant form of my understanding of both of them. sort of a Bonaventurian reading of Heidegger

I like just reading all your philosophical terms. it's exciting even if I only understand about one in three. But give me a year or so...

I'm afraid my Philosophy prof comes down on the Heidegger side of the equation. :-(

That's all right, I'm afraid most people would come down on that side. But only perhaps Scheler is not as well known.
