Abstract

Nowadays the interest in Scheler seems to rise from the awareness that his approach to the topic of ethic and politics as well, is never confined to an individualistic perspective but it always spreads in a wider political-social field. Scheler’s interlocutors are Nietzsche and his "discovery of resentment" as source of worth moral judgement . According to Nietzsche the human society risks being overthrown by the "Ressentiment" of the weak and the derelicts; that’s why his “aristocratic radicalism” imposes him to tackle the topic of the "Ressentiment"in a scientific way. Scheler inherits the issue. He is convinced that the resentment is at the base of the middle-class's ethos. But in dispute with Nietzsche, he states that every authentic moral can’t base on the resentment, otherwise it “bases on an eternal hierarchy of values”. Yet Scheler wonders if the resentment makes the great overall processes of the human history understandable.
