Abstract

The article focuses on the relationship between psychology, spirituality, and mental well-being through the lens of Max Scheler's philosophical anthropology. It discusses how Scheler's perspective on the human being and spirit diverges from traditional views, emphasizing spirituality as an intrinsic dimension of humanity rather than merely a religious practice. The research is divided into two parts: the first summarizes Scheler's critique of five ideologies of the human being, while the second examines various theories of well-being and posits that spirituality should be understood as the act of love that constitutes a person's core being. The conclusion suggests that spirituality plays a fundamental role in addressing mental health. [Extracted from the article]
