Abstract

The article is devoted to questions about what the phenomena of law are, how they are given to us and whether it is possible to avoid subjectivization of the surrounding world in the conditions of the so-called anthropological turn. Special attention is paid to the sign of supervenience of legal reality as a complex determinism that ensures the connection of legal phenomena with ideological and socio-economic prerequisites. The phenomenal world of various (including legal) phenomena, as such, is an unordered flow of sensations, therefore requires rational identification to build basic legal structures. Today, science does not define clear criteria for the separation of phenomena and noumenons, objective and subjective categories. The study divides the phenomena of the legal world into essential, torsion and reification; the thesis is considered that the objective presence of the idea of law in it makes the legal element independent of any opinions. Values and ideals are the eidos of law, provided that they correspond to the existential order of things, to the nature of man as a reasonable social being. The confusion of legal reality with individual legal consciousness leads to the fact that its modern understanding loses its objective scale. The use of complex, intersectoral and system analysis allowed us to propose a five-level model of legal reality.

The final part of the article substantiates the conclusion about the instrumental significance of holism — a methodology that allows exploring the elements of legal reality in interrelation, as well as establishing the priority of the whole over the parts, the social over the individual, the essential over the phenomenal.
