| Summary: | The paper intends to
investigate the deconstruction of the
kantian ethical formalism by Max
Scheler, who, adopting the
phenomenological method, establishes
an order of a priori knowledge
absolutely distinct from natural and
the scientific knowledge.
Phenomenological knowledge leads to
intuition of essences, that, according
to their degree of generality, can be
formal or material. Identifying a form
of knowledge different from
intellectual synthesis and the
sensitive perception, namely fühlen or
axiological feeling, Scheler releases
the a priori from legislator mechanism
of intellect and also from
characteristics of objects. The a
priori is rather a plainness that
appears immediately in eidetic
intuition, such as hierarchical
structure of meanings and values,
which constitutes the logos that
permeates the universe.
