Summary/Abstract: All the aspects of modern world converge in Scheler’s concept of the ethos. Politics, too, derives from the ethos in its essence. The author first outlines Scheler’s formal definition of the ethos, examining thereafter his definition of the ethos of the scientific-technological world and referring to the incompleteness of his ideas. The ethos is a system of factual values, which determine the pattern of the world outlook of a given socio-political framework and of the world surrounding it. To define the modern ethos, Scheler uses the model of bourgeois morality, as exemplified by the reduction of domination over nature to values relating to life in a narrower sense. This inference, though, does not follow from Scheler's own deeper insights and definitions found in his writings.
