Law, State and Civil Society Within the Framework of the Scope and Subject of the Legal Science

The study of civil society and the state, as well as legal phenomena, and the choice of methodological means for its implementation are largely determined by the characteristics of these objects. Without addressing the essential aspects, the most profound patterns of their existence, research may turn out to be not just superficial, but lead the scientist into the world of phantoms, simulacra and even oxymorons, which will live their own lives, form their own reality, weakly affecting the empirical reality. Civil society, state and law from the standpoint of post-non-classical methodology appear not only and not so much as empirical objects, but as certain mental constructs. In this regard, the object and subject of legal and other humanities in a sense overlap: the model for describing society, state and law, outlining the subject of research as problematic issues of their functioning and development, simultaneously acts as an independent phenomenon that can be included in the object of research.
