INTERACTION OF BASIC AND SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE IN THE FORMATION OF LEGAL CONSCIOUSNESS

Abstract

The study of legal consciousness from the position of cognitive approach is due to the idea of the existence of mental constructs, the role of which is to maintain a holistic and meaningful picture of the world. The study of the phenomenon of law as applied to human consciousness allows us to talk about LEGAL CONSCIOUSNESS - gestalt reflection of legal norms in the mind of an individual, a form of social consciousness. In accordance with the above mentioned argument the aim of the research is to cognitively analyze linguistic representations of the concept to study the interaction of scientific and ordinary knowledge. The object of the research is the interaction of ordinary and scientific knowledge in the gestalt structure. During the study, using the method of cognitive modeling, we identified two aspects (localization of legal consciousness, detailing of legal consciousness). The analysis of two aspects confirms the fact that this knowledge is assimilated and formed with the participation of stable cognitive structures, which have arisen on the basis of human bodily experience. It showed the representation of the phenomenon with the help of conceptual metaphors. Theoretical scientific knowledge is a part of the considered gestalt, it can be unsystematic and fragmentary, as it does not determine the integrity of the gestalt.
