Doctrinal foundations of social security in the context of legal and theological regulators (case study of the Republic of Kazakhstan)

Abstract

The article analyzes a relationship between legal norms and theological codes in the field of social protection of citizens unable to work. The authors present a scientific analytical study in terms of the interconnection, interdependence and co-relation of scientific and non-scientific - theological views in the field of obligations and legal guarantees of protection from social risks of special categories of citizens, which include children, the elderly, the disabled, women with children. There is drawn a parallel between the norms of law and moral norms, religious beliefs in terms of the fundamental commandments about proper behavior, good and evil, and legal norms governing legal relations in the field of social protection on the example of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Theological views are investigated considering the peculiarities that take place in the main religious directions included in the catalog of world religions: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism. At the same time, a significant attention is paid to Orthodox Christianity teaching. Based on the study of legislation and basic theological sources, it has been proved that many basic issues of social security for certain groups of people have been laid down as doctrinal obligations before the development of legal regulations. Religious attitudes still play a major role today.
