[Max Scheler provides a penetrating phenomenological inquiry into diverse forms of sympathy in which he explicitly includes “empathy.” Scheler’s inquiry and phenomenological analysis of vicarious feeling and experience is especially penetrating as Scheler explicitly raises the philosophical problem of other minds and criticizes the approaches of the argument from analogy and Theodor Lipps’ “projective empathy.” Scheler’s own inquiry into vicarious feeling identifies experiences that have not been adequately recognized and described as enabling the accessibility of the other individual within the context of radical relatedness to the other. Scheler privileges his own theory, Fremdwahrnehmung, or the perception of the other (alter ego), but arguably goes astray into a pan-psychism and empirical impasse.]
