  Article:   MAX SCHELER ON LOVE IN RELATION TO OUR KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.

Authors:  JUDIT ORSZAGH. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  This paper aims to elucidate the relationship of Max Scheler’s phenomenology of love and the religious act, and how these relate to the human understanding of God. Scheler described three kinds of knowledge such as the control, the essential, and the salvific knowledge with an emphasis on the understanding of love. Religious act, one of the branches of Scheler`s essential phenomenology, serves the core idea to grasp salvific knowledge. Since Scheler did not elaborate on salvific knowledge in detail, the last part of this paper shall explore how religious knowledge contributes to the human understanding of God. Love as one of the main prerequisite to realize the existence of God by way of ‘personal demonstration’/active participation.

Keywords: religious act, metaphysics of first and second order, control knowledge, essential knowledge, salvific knowledge.
