THE VALUE PERCEPTION OF LAW IN THE CONTEXT OF TYPOLOGY OF LOGICAL THINKING

The purpose of this study is to reveal the mechanism of value-based perception of the right and functional meaning of legal values in ensuring the integrity of the legal reality. The analysis developed in the domestic jurisprudence of doctrinal approaches, the author comes to the conclusion that the study of legal values is often limited to the ontological and epistemological aspects. The original methodological setting of this study is the need to identify the essence of value perception through the prism of the features of logical thinking. Taking as a basis the typology of logical thinking, worked out by representatives of German classical philosophy of Kant, Hegel and developed in the works of K. Popper, H. Zuberi and other philosophers, the author comes to the conclusion about the emotional source of the value perception of law. In this context, values of law act as a liaison between the «the existing» law and «proper» law, ensuring the integrity of the legal reality. The proposed approach allows a new look at the features of axiological research of law, offers opportunities for further knowledge of the internal and external relationships of the values of law and other components of axiosphere of society.
