The Nature of Sympathy explores, at different levels, the social emotions of fellow-feeling, the sense of identity, love and hatred, and traces their relationship to one another and to the values with which they are associated. Scheler criticizes other writers, from Adam Smith to Freud, who have argued that the sympathetic emotions derive from self-interested feelings or instincts. He reviews the evaluations of love and sympathy current in different historical periods and in different social and religious environments, and concludes by outlining a theory of fellow-feeling as the primary source of our knowledge of one another.  A prolific writer and a stimulating thinker, Max Scheler ranks second only to Husserl as a leading member of the German phenomenological school. Scheler's work lies mostly in the fields of ethics, politics, sociology, and religion. He looked to the emotions, believing them capable, in their own quality, of revealing the nature of the objects, and more especially the values, to which they are in principle directed.

In the winter of 1943-44, in an army that often relegated blacks to menial jobs, a small group of American soldiers succeeded in becoming the nation's first all-black parachute infantry test platoon, company and battalion: the 555th Battalion of the 82nd Airborne -- the Triple Nickles. The high professional standards of the 555th, the men's skill in airborne operations, fearlessness in testing new concepts, and effectiveness in training other personnel mark them as pioneers whose achievement had an impact on society far beyond the army and paved the way for the modern military
