Abstract

The article is devoted to axiological aspects of personality formation of an investigator during pre-trial investigation. Analysis of theoretical substantiation of the role of social values system is based on studying historical views on the axiological values of human being and their role in the modern development of society. The authors determine that I. Kant’s ideas about values as an ethical measure of human existence in modern philosophical interpretation are closely linked to the system of human values and the activities in society, including professional ones. The study also reveals axiological fundamentals of human activity through the legal reality, establishes that legal axiology studies the value-semantic study of law and related phenomena. The article substantiates that axiology of law distinguishes values-goals and values-means. Distinguishing values-means allows placing a person in the centre of axiological research, recognizing the person not only as the highest social value but also as a source of creation and provision of legal values. The paper makes an attempt to trace the connection between social and personal values, to identify their impact on the development of a person. The study forms a model of the interrelation between social and legal values, reveals dependence between legal values of a person as a member of society and an employee of state authorities. The authors of this study take into account that an investigator during the performance of the official duty is influenced by external and internal factors, which can have negative consequences in the form of professional deformation. The state of professional deformation becomes the basis for the destruction of the investigator’s value system, which contributes to the development of corruption offenses and the commission of crimes of professional misconduct. The work hypothesizes about the need to combine the value system of a person with legal and professional values into a single system of internal counteraction to professional deformation and nihilism at the stage of the pre-trial investigation.
