PHENOMENOLOGY AT THE BORDER: ON THE HISTORY OF RECEPTION AND MEDIATION OF MAX SCHELER’S AXIOLOGY IN THE WORKS OF TADEUSZ H. CZEŻOWSKI (1889–1981)AND LARISSA A. CHUHINA (1913–2002)

This article is written in the form of a brief research note and reports on the role and significance of the reception of Max Scheler's phenomenological philosophy of values in the axiology of Polish philosopher Tadeusz H. Czeżowski (1889-1981) and in the works of his Russian student Larissa A. Chuhina (1913-2002), who played an important role in the studies in philosophical ideas of Max Scheler in Russia and Latvia during the Soviet period. Particular attention is paid to the fact that due to the influence of Czeżowski Chuhina interpreted Max Scheler not so much as one of the founders of philosophical anthropology, but primarily as proposer of the original phenomenological theory of values. The emphasis is also made on a significant modification which Max Scheler's philosophy of values experienced in axiology of Czeżowski and Chuhina.
