 Stein agrees with Scheler that a person is “value-sensitive” or “value-tropic” (werthaftig; 1922: 190[227]) and has “permeability for values in general” (1922: 190[227]). Persons are intrinsically value-dependent, value-recognizing, and value-producing beings: “we see what a person is when we see which world of value she lives in” (1922: 190[227]). Love, for example, is an apprehension of the value of the loved person. Emotions have the greatest effect on the inner form of the self (1931: 260[381]). Emotions reveal reality in its “totality and in its peculiarity” (2000c: 87[96]). The person is in part constituted through emotions; a non-emotive person is, for Stein, an impossibility. The emotions, furthermore, enable us to grasp other persons as value-beings (see also  sect. 2.2  and  sect. 2.3).
