Ep. 364: Max Scheler on Sympathy (Part T...

Mark Linsenmayer, Wes Alwan, Seth Paskin, Dylan Casey
About this episode

Mark, Wes, and Dylan reconvened for one more hour on Part I, "Fellow Feeling" (ch. 3-4) in The Nature of Sympathy (1913/1922).

We continue to try to figure out the razor's edge of "fellow feeling proper" that does not rely on the sympathizer identifying in any way and look into psychological and metaphysical ways that people can identify with others.
