FORMAL-DOGMATIC APPROACH TO THE LEGAL SCIENCE IN THE MODERN CONDITIONS

Abstract

This article is devoted to the issue of the role and place of the formally dogmatic approach in legal science in the context of modernity. The historical transnational discourse of the formation of a formally dogmatic approach to law, its methodological orientation and conditionality has been implemented. Attention is focused on the concept and essence of legal dogma, its scientific interpretation, and its connection with legal technique. A comparative analysis of this approach with other approaches of legal research has been conducted. The theoretical and practical significance of the formally dogmatic approach in modern legal science and practice has been determined. It is established that jurisprudence can achieve its 

goals and be used for its own purpose in the case when it puts forward initial positions within the framework of the legal system, that is, the doctrine. The doctrine may be the subject of mastering jurisprudence studying the rules of the existence of law as a language in which subjects communicate in the face of public order. At the same time, the prevalence of the formally dogmatic approach can theoretically entail essential limitations in the process of cognition, since legal science has legal positivism as its basis.
