The Philosophy of Law in Russia as the ideological and theoretical basis of the national legal ideology: history, modernity and prospects

Abstract

The article examines the Russian Philosophy of Law, reveals its theoretical and value potential to be the basis of the modern national legal ideology of Russia. The views of K.S.ºAksakov, N. Ya. Danilevsky, N.A. Berdyaev, I.A. Ilyin are analyzed, who, according to the author, managed to show the essence of the Russian national character and Russian statehood in their works. It is argued that the Russian Philosophy of Law, which reached its apogee in the XIX – first third of the XX century, is not only not outdated at the present time, but should become the basis of modern theoretical research in the field of national state-building, the formation of domestic and foreign policy of the Russian state. The system-forming nature of the Philosophy of Law for fundamental legal sciences is revealed.
