This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century German philosopher, sociologist of knowledge, and phenomenologist, Max Scheler's work Ressentiment, which provides an interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of that same name. It focuses on his discussion in the third part of the work "Christian Morality and Ressentment" of the connections Scheler sees between the modern conception of "altruism" and the dynamic of ressentiment, which he thinks is involved in modern "altruism". Both altruism and egoism as opposites are often used by modern thinkers as a conceptual framework that Christian love does not neatly fit into, and the reduction of Christian love to "altruism", Scheler thinks, is a mistake.
