THE MEANINGS OF LAW, POLITICS, MORALITY: THE PROBLEM OF INTERACTION

Abstract

The problem of interaction of the semantic field of law, politics and morality has not been thoroughly dealt with in modern humanitarian literature despite the fact that the concept of the semantic field is known to humanitarians for a long time, and in separate disciplines (linguistics, cultural studies, psychology) it has been thoroughly elaborated in the process of development of the subject of the sciences in question. The purpose of the article is to identify the meaning and scope of the use of the concept of the semantic field in law, politics and moral sphere of the society, as well as to identify the problem of interaction of these fields, to propose ways of resolving the main problems encountered during the analysis. The research methodology applied by the authors represents a complex combination of ideas of dialectics, synergetics, hermeneutics, phenomenology, communication, as well as a normative-axiological approach to law. Sources on philosophy, politics, psychology, morality and law have been used. The main results of the research are as follows: the analysis of the concept of the semantic field in each of the proposed areas of social knowledge requires a meaningful reinterpretation of the conceptual apparatus and filling its elements with the meaning that corresponds to the goals, objectives and nature of the subject of the science in question, which also affects the peculiarities of the applied methods of cognition.
