Abstract

The author argues that particular moral decisions and actions are determined by actual experience of human relations rather than by general principles only; moral imperativity may be presented either in normative form, or through immediate reactions to other persons; people estimate their own and others’ decisions, intended and performed actions according to the values and principles presented in the given culture.
