Moral-Philosophical Expertise as a Tool of Evolution of Law (A Case Study of Program-Strategic Documents)

The article deals with the balance between morality and law. The author raises the issue of the need to increase the authority of law by means of moral and philosophical expertise. The paper focuses on the question of the need to develop the technology of moral and philosophical expertise. An attempt is made to conduct a moral and philosophical expertise on the basis of program and strategic documents, namely: «Strategy for action in t he interests of senior citizens in the Russian Federation 2025» and «The Concept of Implementation of the State Policy on Reduction of Alcohol Abuse and Prevention of Alcoholism among the Population of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2020.» On the basis of the analysis of these documents the conclusion is made about the necessity of carrying out moral and philosophical examination in order to increase the efficiency of implementation of program-strategic documents. In addition, the author highlights the lack of the definition of the legal status of program and strategic documents at the legislative level, as well as the order and consistent system of adoption of such documents, which results in their ineffectiveness.
