Basic Methods of the History of Political and Legal Doctrines and the Possible Transformation of the Object of Legal Science

Abstract

This article shows the importance of the methodology of the history of political and legal doctrines, characterizes the basic (basic) methods, and illustrates their cognitive capabilities. At the same time, the emphasis is placed on the fact that each doctrine has a methodological basis, which to some extent allows us to evaluate the content of the doctrines and the real possibilities of their implementation in the practice of state-legal construction. 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. At present, such a category as the techno-social sphere (system) has firmly entered the scientific circulation. The synthesis of natural, social, technological systems is an example of the transformation of the subject area of legal science, and as a result, the interdisciplinarity of scientific research.
