Scheler and Hellinger in order(s) of love

Max Scheler, a German phenomenological philosopher of the early twentieth century, argued that all human action is based on love. The most that human can do is strive to love as much as God loves. The 'order of love' is the way of discovering, behind the possible confusing facts of a person's action, the structure of his/her being, which is the fundamental ethical formula of his/her existence. The order of love is the formal cause of human's spirituality and personality. The idea of a right and true order of love exists objectively, independently of an individual. We can only recognize and accept it, but we cannot change it. The concept 'order(s) of love' is also used by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger. Like Scheler, Hellinger emphasizes that a belief that love is free and unpredictable is wrong ; love follows the rules and orders that exist independently of our desires and which are sometimes hidden. In his practical work with clients, Hellinger has countless times found out the hidden patterns that allow love to flow in families, which helped people unleash love. This paper will compare Scheler's theoretical considerations on the order of love with Hellinger's approach in family (systemic) constellations.
