Abstrakt
Roman Ingarden met Max Scheler during his studies in Gottingen and Freiburg between 1912 and 1918. Scheler made deep impression on the young Ingarden who became interested in Scheler's philosophy and who followed its development from this moment on.
These years were formative for Ingarden's philosophy. At this time, he became acquainted with Husserl's transcendental phenomenology and the realist phenomenology of Adolf Reinach and the Gottingen Circle.
These led him to the idealism-realism problem and the development of his own account of phenomenology. In this paper, I deal with the question: How did Scheler influence Ingarden's philosophy? This question is neglected in literature but its importance should not be underestimated.
Not only because Ingarden considered Scheler to be the second most important phenomenologist after Husserl but also because there are references to Scheler in all of Ingarden's major works. Here I focus on three areas of Ingarden's philosophy in which Scheler's influence is evident.
In this way, I want to mark some possible starting points for further research. I begin with Scheler's influence on the young Ingarden, followed by the part focusing on Ingarden's works on aesthetics and ontology containing references to Scheler.
Finally, I point to the undercurrent of Ingarden's philosophy - his ethics and philosophical anthropology.
