Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article pressuposes the coincidence of morals and love. That pressuposition is focused on the bases of Greek morals and Greek vision of love in comparison with Christian one. The basic theme of this searching is Nietzsche’s rude interpretation of Christianity as a heteronomic will to power, his critique of altruism as a blind and weak position and on the other hand the level of “sacrifice”, which is from point of view of religious and also humanistic studies the highest peak and figure of love, which stimulates and moves a person towards a greater matureness.
