THE THEORY OF LAW: THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOPIC

The article is devoted to one of the fundamental topics of the science of law, connected with the doctrinal and institutional practices of its composition and development; to a certain extent it may be regarded as a remark to the article «Legal Science: Its Present Condition, Challenges and Prospects (the Theoretician’s Reflections)» by professor Lazarev V.V. («Lex Russica», 2013. № 2). The actual topic of the research is preconditioned by the urgent need of expanding of the potential circle of the grounds for epistemological curves in the development of the science of law in general and the theory of state in particular. The introduction of such categories as «legal text» and «legal language» into the realm of the science of law has renewed and changed the epistemological prospect in the development of the legal theory itself. These general notions actually accumulate all the possible revelations of the concept of the science of law — its ontology and axiology.
