| biography:
| Philosopher and social theorist, born in Munich, SE Germany. He taught at the universities of Jena (1900–6), Munich (1907–10), Cologne (1919–27), and Frankfurt (1928). Influenced by Husserl, he developed a distinctive version of phenomenology which he set out in his major work, Der Formalismus in der Ethik und die materiale Wertethik (1921, Formalism in Ethics and the Material Value Ethics). He also did influential work in the sociology of knowledge. Other works include Die Sinngesetze des emotionalen Lebens (1923, trans The Nature of Sympathy) and Die Stellung des Menschen im Kosmos (1928, trans Man's Place in Nature), a work of philosophical anthropology, with a pantheistic view of how God is realized in history and in the world. |
