Summary/Abstract: The paper explores the specificity of emotional processes, within total mental dynamics of personality. It is explained that they have both subjective and objective dimension, that they concern the selection of individual attentional priorities, but also seeing the objective order of values. The characteristics of emotional evaluation are considered and the optimal form of human emotions is examined. Incorrect and correct emotions are differentiated, whereby formal meaning of super-subjective correctness, that is, the value dignity of man’s emotionality is explained. Certain relevant aspects of axiological understanding of emotions at Max Scheler and Ronald de Sousa are compared. Finally, the author presents arguments in favor of his own thesis that the objective dignity of not only individual emotions, but also the total emotional life of personality is attainable.
