Philosophy and Law
Pavilion F, conference hall F3
Russian philosophy of law is needed today like never before, and stands on par with its foreign counterparts. In modern society, the link between law and other social phenomena (including material and psychological factors) is clear to see. A break in this link can lead to the devaluation of law and legal nihilism. This in turn can increase tension in society and cause a rupture in socioeconomic relations. It is essential to examine a variety of topics in the context of general ideas covering the development of law, legal awareness, and legal thinking. Doing so can lead to a deep understanding of the processes taking place in today’s world. This session will focus on academic opinions and creative perspectives on the role and significance of philosophy of law as it pertains to social and humanitarian knowledge. It will also examine assessments and judgments concerning today’s global legal reality. In addition, participants will aim to reach an understanding of the development of modern civilization, the evolution of public and legal institutions, and philosophy of law in today’s world.
