Założenia i perspektywy fenomenologicznej antropologii filozoficznej) Source: Zeszyty Naukowe Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego w Krakowie

In the history of philosophy, the belief that there is a need to systematically build a philosophical conception of man grew gradually. Max Scheler believed that there is no task more urgent than building philosophical anthropology. It can be assumed that the idea to give it a phenomenological character was close to his heart. However, he was not consistent in applying the phenomenological procedure, since he incorporated scientific conclusions and also referred to metaphysical assumptions. Phenomenological philosophical anthropology would have to observe the principle of presuppositionlessness and to draw its content from phenomenological experience. It should also not disregard facts provided by exact sciences but subject them to a “cleansing” under the control of the said experience.
