scheler's social person  

Definición

  • “Social person” or Gesamtperson (collective person) is the German philosopher Max Scheler's (1874–1928) term for the actual and ideal personhood of community. Elaborated from different perspectives and at various points within his writings—notably in Formalism in Ethics and Non-Formal Ethics of Values (1913, 1916), The Nature of Sympathy (1913), and Die Wissensformen und die Gesellschaft (1926)—Scheler contended that a community is also a person, possessed of all qualities of personhood including consciousness and moral responsibility.
