Life presents people with many temptations, such as to overeat, oversleep, skip work, spend money, and indulge in illicit pleasures. Recent findings have indicated that individuals report feeling desire about half the time they are awake and often struggle with conflicting desires (Hofmann, Baumeister, Förster, & Vohs, 2012). Not all desires are problematic, but many are (at the individual and/or societal level), and managing conflicting and problematic desires is a task that requires continuous effort. Successful navigation amidst the constant stream of desires depends to a large extent on one's ability to self-regulate, that is, to exercise self-control. Self-Control and Its Benefits Self-control refers to the ability to resist temptations, regulate emotions, control cognitions, and adjust behavior in the service of overarching long-term goals (Baumeister, Vohs, & Tice, 2007). Decades of research on self-control have documented the immense impact it has on all spheres of life. For example, Moffitt et al. (2011) found that childhood self-control was a predictor of positive later-life outcomes in the domains of physical health, socioeconomic status, and criminal propensity (see also Mischel, Shoda, & Rodriguez, 1989). Research among adults has shown that high trait self-control is associated with many favorable outcomes, such as academic success, psychological adjustment, good interpersonal skills, and emotional stability (

Scheler's Formalism in Ethics (Formalism hereafter). As a phenomenologist, Scheler did not attempt to invent a new ontological language to describe value experience clearly as Heidegger invented for his fundamental ontology of Dasein. In so doing, Scheler's phenomenological descriptions often use metaphysically rich language and in so doing, Scheler generates ambiguity surrounding what he most sought to make clear, value. To remedy this confusion, I argue that Scheler's concept of Aktsein can supply an ontological understanding of value given the dearth of a clear ontological explanation of value in his phenomenological period culminating in the Formalism. This inquiry is divided into three chapters. In Chapter 1, I explain the central concepts in his phenomenology of value at root in the Formalism. I both explain and reveal the central ambiguities in the Formalism. For the most part, Chapter 1 is expository and develops an interpretation of the central ambiguities in Scheler's phenomenology of value. In Chapter 2, I problematize these central ambiguities and take note of when and where phenomenology collapses into ontology. This transition can best be made clear in his Idealismus und Realismus essays where Scheler explicates the structure of being--in--an--act at the very moment he "ontologizes" phenomenology. In addition to that moment in this I am indebted to Evan Tiffany at Simon Fraser University for permitting the phenomenological infection, and to encourage my growth despite my proclivity to reading "Continental philosophy." Without his tutelage and mentorship, I would never have succeeded elsewhere. The friendship of so many at SFU has been very rewarding to this day, and the education I have received in analytic philosophy has made me a better scholar. At Southern Illinois University, my heart belongs to the entire department. The Philosophy Department has always provided an encouraging atmosphere to work and teach. There are a few muses to whom I am especially thankful. In no particular order, let me thank them wholeheartedly. In Randall Auxier, I have found a tenacious honesty about the facts of the profession, and encouraging discussions of professional development. I am
