Abstract
The article presents two different approaches to issues of moral choice, through the example of Aristotle's understanding of of the moral choice and value of life, on one side, and following the presented literature experience from the perspective of a journalist and writer Oriana Fallaci on the issues relative to the value of life and choice, on the other side. Through the prism of literary imagination of the philosopher M.C. Nussbaum examines the broader framework of understanding of these issues, with an emphasis on questioning literary imagination in the curriculum related to the education of citizens, which can stimulate us on responsibility towards humanity tracing ethics of impartial respect for human dignity with regard to all questions of life.
