Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article. The purpose of this scientific paper is to study plagiarism through the prism of the reflection of two fundamentally different scientific standards: legal, social, based on the ideals of positivism and natural sciences, and cultural, humanitarian, oriented to the non-classical principles of plurality and relativity. Methodology. Fol- lowing the goals and objectives, the basis of the methods of the study were comparative-legal, systemic and dogmatic methods. Particular methodological approach allowed to consider the manifestations of borrowings in products of culture ("cultural texts"), which from the philosophical and cultural point of view are regarded as organically inherent in the culture of impulses ("texts in the texts"), as well as determine the scope of the category "plagiarism" in legal science, to identify its relation with the notion of "text in the text". The scientific novelty of the work is to determine the essence of the category of "plagiarism" through the prism of an interdisciplinary approach: the dialogue of legal and cultural paradigms. Conclusions. The need for the creative rethinking of the legal content of the category of "plagiarism" matured by the achievements of modern humanitarian knowledge. The essence of this procedure is the transfer of attention from the formal signs of originality to the content. The mentioned aspect will exclude from the scope of objects of plagiarism the phenomena that we risked calling "texts in the texts" and include cases of shameful transfer of other people's thoughts "in their own words" (which, unfortunately, is not uncommon in modern scientific and artistic works). In this there is nothing humiliating for the law, on the contrary, such transformations correspond to the urgent need for postmodern science in interdisciplinary relations, in dialogue and cooperation, to which humanitarianism is by its very nature ready. The detailed development of transformation data, which requires the involvement of a large number of humanities professionals in the legal field, is a matter of the future and is, in our opinion, the direction of interdisciplinary research, the outlin es of which are already scheduled.
