Abstract

Contemporary society has mostly a negative view of idleness. Scheler provides insights for an alternative view, in which idleness plays a central role in our being and becoming human (Bildung). Scheler’s view is philosophically original, and not just a return to the traditional Aristotelian discourse on contemplation.
