The first part of the book offers one of the earliest critical analyses of American pragmatism, an analysis that would come to have a significant impact on the reception of pragmatism in Germany and western Europe. The second part of the work contains Scheler's phenomenological account of perception and the experience of reality, an account that is as original as both Husserl's and Merleau-Ponty's phenomenologies of perception. Scheler aims to show that the modern mechanistic view of nature fails to account for the dynamic relation that not only the human being but all living beings have to the environment they inhabit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in English translation for the first time, \u003ci\u003eCognition and Work\u003c\/i\u003e pushes the boundaries of phenomenology as it is traditionally understood and offers insight into Scheler's distinct metaphysics. This book is essential reading for those interested in phenomenology, pragmatism, perception, and living beings in their relation to the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Max Scheler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810142694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810142695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Max Scheler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978460987647,"sku":"9780810142695","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_324dee58-ab38-42cc-bf64-b7d63ac0580b.jpg?v=1683241665","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cognition-and-work-max-scheler-9780810142695","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
