Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of interrelations between justice and positive law in the Russian philosophy of law in the second half of the XIXth century - the first half of the XXth century. The author considers the views of legal sociologists (L.I. Petrazhitskiy, M.A. Reisner, S.A. Muromtsev) and supporters of the Natural Law Doctrine (B.N. Chicherin, P.I. Novgorodtsev, V.S. Solovyev). Representatives of the Psychological School of Law (L.I. Petrazhitskiy, M.A. Reisner) consider justice as intuitive law and, in this sense, oppose it to positive law without denying a certain relationship between them. S.A. Muromtsev, a classic of domestic Sociology of Law, is looking for a center of gravity in public relations. B.N. Chicherin, who was an active proponent of philosophical methodology and supporter of the Theory of Natural Law, believes that justice is rooted in the human mind acting as a tool for assessing positive law determinations. Proponents of the Neo-Kantian Philosophy of Law (P.I. Novgorodtsev, K.S. Solovyev) justify criticism of positive law in terms of a priori principles of morality that are integral parts of the human conscience as a reasonable moral human being. Attention is also given to some contemporary problems of the Theory of Law: In particular, the question is raised concerning admissibility and validity of the so-called evaluation categories in contemporary Russian legislation that include justice.
