Summary/Abstract: The issue of Mickiewicz’s axiology is still an open question. The 21st century perspective makes Vladimir Solovyov’s short statement on Mickiewicz’s ‘personal structure’ extremely accurate. The Russian philosopher speaks of an exceptional power of love which facilitated Mickiewicz to reach steadily higher and higher levels of morality and spirituality. It turns out that Solovyov’s words become clarified if we use categories that were developed on the basis of Max Scheler or Dietrich von Hildebrand’s phenomenology. What is especially vital to grasp the nature of Mickiewicz’s love is, e.g. fidelity, which is present in a number of lyrical texts written by Mickiewicz, and blends with elegiac nature of the poetry in question – its dominant aesthetic feature.
