Special attention is given to a variety of approaches towards the definition of the term “value”. The term “value” is discussed as an abstract and common term, and rules of behavior and guiding principles are seen as norms. This article discusses features of functional connections and mutual conversions, which are aimed at emphasizing the fundamental differences between the two notions which are similar in many ways. This article pays attention to the phenomenological approach to research of legal values. We address issues of uniform understanding of the difference between legal values and norms that are necessary to identify ways of efficient formation of legal behavior, which is based on self-regulation and self-control of each person (each citizen). Comparative legal studies can determine legal values’ place in the system of other social values, their hierarchy. The significance of legal values that determine the behavior of subjects of law in legally significant situations is shown. Legal values are organically included in the mechanism for the implementation of rights and obligations.","PeriodicalId":238867,"journal":{"name":"Courier of Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL))","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116930371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reasons for the unsatisfactory state of some existing approaches, both in foreign and Russian literature, are seen both in the objectively occurring processes of changes in social requirements for the quality of legal knowledge, and in various practices based on outdated and often ideological models. Critical remarks about various aspects of historiographical approaches in the field of the history of legal thought are conditioned by specific observations and in no way imply the denial of the best examples of intellectual culture. The leitmotif of this study is the position that the history of legal thought in its historiographical basis, as well as spiritual culture in general, does not imply ideological constructions carried out for various reasons, but only two essential aspects, each of which should have equal significance and registration in the field of modern practices of mastering the history of legal thought: event and everyday layers (by analogy with the cultural ideas of A.

The social nature of morality, its regulatory function and historical variability, means of influencing persons who do not comply with the norms of morality are noted. The difference between legal regulation and moral regulation is carried out. The social utility of morality, the concept of moral behavior and its motives are investigated. In the context of understanding the law, attention is focused on its coercive nature and types of legal sanctions. Within the framework of the close interaction of morality and law, it is emphasized that giving a moral norm a legal sanction gives this norm a mixed character — ethical and legal. It is noted that the requirements of morality and law in some cases may contradict each other.","PeriodicalId":238867,"journal":{"name":"Courier of Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL))","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115983267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key theses attributed by R. Dworkin to the legal positivism of H. Hart and his proponents are examined: the pedigree thesis, the discretion thesis, the obligation thesis and the separability thesis. R. Dworkin’s criticism of these theses, on the basis of legal positivists’ undervaluing of the role of legal principles, as well as the capacity of these arguments for reconsideration of the key assumptions of mainstream Russian legal theory, is characterized. The central statements of the exclusive (hard) and inclusive (soft) legal positivism as two strategies of reaction to R. Dworkin’s critique are analysed. The separability thesis is discussed through the framework of J. Coleman’s distinction between positive and negative versions of the positivist legal theory. The conclusion that the nature of the nexus between moral and legal norms has not been properly problematised in contemporary Russian legal theory and that the arguments in the Hart-Dworkin debate have critical capacity to challenge dogmatism on this issue is justified.","PeriodicalId":238867,"journal":{"name":"Courier of Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL))","volume":"310 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115914838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The importance of the history of political and legal doctrines is shown in the present period, when the ideological confrontation has become especially aggravated, behind which there is a discrepancy between the interests of global political players. Methods make it possible to study reality and not only political and legal. It seems that it is part of a broader phenomenon, which can be conditionally called sociality.
