The subject of Scheler's metaphysics is man, in other words, meta-anthropology. In this type of anthropology, by reflecting on the nature of man and presenting a comprehensive picture of it, which includes various aspects including natural, rational and emotional, emotions are emphasized as prior elements in the creation of values, in fact, emotions are a way to understand Values are known. From Scheler's point of view, values are not a posteriori; That is, they are not taken from foreign experiences; Rather, they are known as prior elements of emotion, so from his point of view, we have knowledge with prior characteristics that are related to the field of emotions. It can be said that with this point of view, Scheler is in front of philosophers like Kant; Because according to Kant, human emotions cannot have prior elements; In this article, after explaining metaphysical knowledge as one of the three types of knowledge from Scheler's point of view, the nature of man and the epistemological role of emotions as prior elements in the creation of values are explained. In this research, through documentary method, content analysis and descriptive method, we plan and examine Scheler's view on moral values and its relationship with emotions. Our claim is that based on Scheler's point of view, morality is formed not based on purely formal and rational values, but based on emotions and feelings.
