, It is peculiar to “ressentiment criticism” that it does not seriously desire that its demands be fulfilled. It does not want to cure the evil.
Existential envy which is directed against the other person’s very nature, is the strongest source of ressentiment.
The ultimate goal of the arriviste’s aspirations is not to acquire a thing of value, but to be more highly esteemed than others.

About this person
Max Ferdinand Scheler was born 22 August 1874 in Germany and spent his career extending Edmund Husserl's phenomenological method into territory Husserl hadn't claimed: ethics, emotion, the structure of personhood. By the 1920s he stood among the most prominent philosophers in Germany, working out a philosophical anthropology that asked what separates humans from animals and how values operate in lived experience. He died 19 May 1928, and in the aftermath both Martin Heidegger and Ortega y Gasset declared that every philosopher of the century owed him a debt. The tribute didn't stick - his name receded as the century moved on, lodged now mostly in specialist memory.
