Abstract

The paper focuses on two groups of determination of the act of self-sacrifice. They are analyzed on the basis of phenomenological and axiological approaches. In the paper it is investigated how a person is determined by moral noesa and by transcendent moral value of others' lives. It is shown that the moral values are regarded by a human being as ultimate reason of his/her moral choice.
