Max Scheler, Ressentiment - Does Jesus Represent Ressentiment? - Sadler's Lectures
May 23, 2025
17:13
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century German philosopher, sociologist of knowledge, and phenomenologist, Max Scheler's work Ressentiment, which provides an interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of that same name. It focuses on his discussion in the third part of the work "Christian Morality and Ressentment" of whether the teachings and example of Jesus of Nazareth is motivated or not by the dynamic of ressentiment. Scheler provides reasons for judging that this is not the case.
