Resumen
ALONSO-BASTARRECHE, G.. Freedom and destiny according to Max Scheler. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2017, n.52, pp.319-353. ISSN 0188-6649. https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v0i52.775.
The philosophical problem of the free will has many aspects, that are treated by many disciplines. One of them is the harmony between freedom and destiny. Free will seems to be against destiny, by understanding this as inevitable fatum. Scheler affirms the existence of freedom, with many arguments and from an original point of view. However, he says that destiny is the limit of the free will. This means that, actually, both notions are not dramatically opposite, but have many dimensions and an internal complexity. They are more compatible between themselves than they seem to be: destiny is a phenomenological door to a notion of freedom superior to free will.
