Law and Rationality

Summary/Abstract: The article makes an attempt to analyze particular relations connecting the law and rationality. In the widely-held feeling, the law is a natural derivative of mind and such an approach is strongly placed in the history of ideas (Cicero, Saint Thomas Aquinas, and others). However, the crash of the Enlightenment project makes us reevaluate a lot of beliefs. It turns out that mind and its power in social problems is the issue of an agreement, conventions and does not resemble a mathematical equation. The author believes that a lot of foundations of a modern democracy, including legal institutions, are a kind of a contemporary myth, illusion taking the form of being seemingly reasonable.
