Philosophy of Law in the Context of the Russian National and Cultural Identity and the Protection of Sovereignty and Historical Truth
Congress Centre, conference hall D1
The Russian school of the philosophy of law is in demand now more than ever. It is in no way inferior to other schools and plays the extremely important role of preserving Russian civilizational space. The main task of Russian philosophy of law today is to develop conceptual meanings and ideas for effective ways to solve current and future problems of government administration, the justice system, the protection of citizens’ rights, and sustainable social development. What is Russia’s experience of state-building and laying the philosophical foundations of various social models? What concepts and ideas have Russian philosophers and scientists put forward, and what role do they play in the field of political and legal research? What is the significance of historiographic studies of political and legal knowledge in countering distorted pictures of Russia’s civilizational development? How are today’s models of political and legal models constructed? How do they form a holistic and complete understanding of approaches to the interpretation of key events in the history of political and legal thought?
