An Ethical Dimension of Law as a Factor of Upward Development of Society and Human Rights Protection in the Context of New Technological Threats

The study elucidates historical and logical necessity of an ethical and philosophical dimension of law in the form of an ethical examination of applied problems and situations (especially in relation to law) arising in the context of new technological threats. The author dwells on the paradigm of the upward development of society and protection of human rights not in the context of an individualistic dominant of the Western type, but in the context of priority of preserving, developing and improving society as a whole in the direction of a high ideal that presupposes restoration of justice based on true knowledge of the real state of affairs. It is suggested that the goodwill of those who perform the work demanded by society constitutes the necessary condition. The paper describes the specification of its methodology understood in the broad sense of the word, when ethics is considered as the pinnacle of philosophy. The author concludes that the strategy of strengthening morality in law is not only in demand, even salutary, for society as a whole and for every one. Morality is such a phenomenon that you need to constantly and purposefully work with.
