METHODOLOGY AS A SPECIAL FIELD OF KNOWLEDGE, A SYSTEM OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT METHODS, FORMS AND MEANS OF THINKING

Summary/Abstract: National general theoretical jurisprudence is experiencing a complex and contradictory period of its history. On the one hand, the collapse of totalitarianism and methodological monism in the study of law and other legal phenomena, provided ample opportunities for the renewal of domestic law science, overcoming its long isolation from the European and world culture and legal theory. On the other hand, the transition from methodological monism to worldview methodological pluralism has led to complication of the process of perception of legal phenomena, one of the consequences of which was the eclectic combination of heterogeneous worldview principles and ideas from Marxist to neoliberal, which are badly interconnected. This creates inconsistencies of contradiction, which often do not meet the basic requirements for scientific theories. Before starting to studying, it is advisable in scientific research to decide on methodological platforms, which enable to effectively implement them, reflect its results with the adequately current conditions, and indicate the ways of their implementation in practice. The complexity lies, in fact, in the urgent need to develop completely new concepts of activity. Science, which should be formed on sound, theoretical and methodological basis, should play an important role in the development of such concepts.
