Omschrijving:The aim of this paper is to analyze culture, identity and environment, according to the human being's place in the cosmos, from the material ethics of Max Scheler. The methodology used is qualitative, in terms of the extraction and analysis of the main ideas of Scheler's works. This proposal corresponds to a humanistic approach, due to the relationship between human beings among each other and with the cosmos, which is important because it addresses the main environmental theories to the present time (anthropocene, holism, ecosophy...). The main source used is The Place of Man in the Cosmos (1928), as well as other works by Scheler. The theoretical perspective followed is the material ethics of values, according to which, human relations with each other and with nature depend on norms that materialize in concrete actions. The great gap between human nature implies an ethic that recovers this relationship. Three aspects are addressed: culture, identity, and environment, particularly in terms of their philosophical content and the place these terms have in the cosmos, particularly their application to human and natural values.
