Wojtyła’s Normative Ethic vs. Scheler’s Emotionalization of the A Priori
Journal Title: Studia Gilsoniana - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
The article discusses Wojtyła’s position regarding the Schelerian a priori. Both Wojtyla and Scheler recognize the notion of a priori. But Wojtyła seeks an equilibrium between the a priori of duty (i.e., regardless of experience), on the one hand, and the exclusivity of the a priori values (aside from all normativity), on the other hand. The author concludes that Wojtyła points to the truth of man, which includes a concrete duty to realize the good by the acts of voluntary choice.
