       Anyone read the book Ressentiment, by Max Scheler?

       I don't know anything about Max Scheler, but I've read he was a
       catholic phenomenologist in the early 20th century.  His book,
       Ressentiment is a response to Nietzsche's claim that
       Christianity is a worldview built upon Ressentiment and
       life-denial.  Scheler essentially argues that this is false, but
       the reason it seems true is that bourgeois values are in fact
       guilty of this charge, and that in the modern era Christianity
       has persistently been warped and skewed by these bourgeois
       values.  Sounds really interesting to me, and am curious if
       anyone has any insight.

       Sounds like an interesting read. I've never read Scheler but I
       do know his work was on the Nazi book burning list. And
       apparently JPII was fond of Scheler's ideas on developing a
       proper Christian ethics. I'll add this to my reading list.

       I think René Girard also wrote a lot on this topic. Haven't read
       his books yet.
