Moral Philosophy as a Methodological Basis and Value of Professional Ethics in Law

Abstract
On the basis of the finding of an obvious lack of morality in professional fields, where the threat is posed to the person himself and, consequently, to the society as a whole, the author justifies that it is moral philosophy that is destined to serve as a methodological basis and a value guide for the professional ethics in law at the center of which there is a person as a person rather than any external object as a formal value.The paper demonstrates the approach according to which training of modern lawyers assumes strengthening of morality in law by the forces of professional philosophers, primarily representing ethics, who are able to give knowledge about the origin and essence of morality, about the history of ethical teachings, about the content of categories and values; to carry out rather deep moral and philosophical examination of various ancillary problems, bearing in mind their intrinsic interconnection. All these make it possible to understand that a kind of a core in the professional activity of a lawyer is represented by the motivation to perform the necessary work important for the common cause necessary for preservation and improvement of the society towards the social ideal. Thus, the philosophical and legal club “Moral Dimension of Law” that has successfully operated under the auspices of the Department of Philosophy and Sociology for 18 years relies in its work on the concepts mentioned above. The combination of educational and research activities has serious educational significance, which in a certain sense, is redeeming for modern education as a whole.
