Dietrich von Hildebrand first acquired his interest in Catholicism through the influence of the German phenomenologist, Max Scheler (1874-1928), whose ethics and value theory also had a considerable influence on him. When Scheler lost his post at the Catholic University of Munich in 1910 due to infelicities in his marital life, it was Von Hildebrand who took him in and provided him with lodging for a time. While Scheler proceeded to become estranged from the Catholic Church before his death in 1928, Von Hildebrand's Catholic convictions continued to deepen throughout his life. In many ways, his Ethics may be viewed, from a Catholic point of view, as providing a corrective to certain defects in Scheler's phenomenological ethics -- defects such as have been noted by Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II) in his doctoral dissertation on Scheler (cf. Karol Wojtyla, "Ocena mozliwosei zbudowania etyki chrzescijanskiej przy zalozeniach systemn Maksa Schelera" [Peut-on construire l'éthique chrétienne à partir des principes de Max Scheler?], Diss. Lublin: Towarzystwo Naukowe Katolickiego Universytetu Lubelskiego, 1959).
