From which French philosopher's work did John Maus derive the title of the album whose positive response caused him to grow more widely accepted as an outsider artist?
John Maus John Maus (born February 23, 1980) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, composer, and academic from Minnesota. An early collaborator of Ariel Pink, he has released several albums that incorporate elements of 1980s synth-pop, post-punk, and Medieval music. He is a former professor of philosophy at the University of Hawaii and his intellectual pursuits are reflected in his style and approach to music. His first two albums, "Songs" (2006) and "Love Is Real" (2007), generally drew negative reviews upon release. After the positive response to 2011's "We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves", Maus grew more widely accepted as an outsider artist, and there was a critical reevaluation of his earlier work.
Max Scheler Max Ferdinand Scheler (] ; 22 August 1874 – 19 May 1928) was a German philosopher known for his work in phenomenology, ethics, and philosophical anthropology. Scheler developed further the philosophical method of the founder of phenomenology, Edmund Husserl, and was called by José Ortega y Gasset "the first man of the philosophical paradise." After his death in 1928, Martin Heidegger affirmed, with Ortega y Gasset, that all philosophers of the century were indebted to Scheler and praised him as "the strongest philosophical force in modern Germany, nay, in contemporary Europe and in contemporary philosophy as such." In 1954, Karol Wojtyła, later Pope John Paul II, defended his doctoral thesis on "An Evaluation of the Possibility of Constructing a Christian Ethics on the Basis of the System of Max Scheler."
