    Study Notes

    Max Scheler and His Hierarchy of Values

    • Values are derived from human experience, representing emotional and intuitive choices based on liking and disliking.

    Hierarchy of Values

    • Scheler classifies values into a hierarchy, indicating the complexity and moral significance of each level:
      • Values of Holy (1.3%): Pertaining to absolute objects, include belief, adoration, and bliss.
      • Spiritual Values (25%): Independent of physical existence; includes aesthetic values and moral values of right and wrong.
      • Vital Values (50%): Related to well-being and health, addressing both individual and community needs.
      • Pleasure Values (75%): Associated with sensory experiences, focusing on pleasure and pain.

    Principles of Value Understanding
