Актуальность аксиологических проблем юридической психологии

Abstract

The article substantiates the necessity to research the axiological problems of legal psychology and shows the results of a theoretical study of the value-related aspect of legal psychology. These results advocate the idea of using a systemic approach in values analysis. It is maintained that in order to resolve the axiological problems of legal psychology by way of systematization of its values what's needed is a return to the philosophical foundations of cognition, ontology, dialectics, logic, the material basis of psyche. At the same time, it is believed that not every systemic approach can cope with value systematization in legal psychology. As a doctrinal alternative, philosophy and psychology develop and offer an ontological system of ethical categories to be the cornerstone of natural and positive law. This system relies on the ontological criteria and is a matrix (grid) of fundamental knowledge at the categorial level. The ontological matrix of axiological categories of ethics (the foundations of law) must manifest itself in psychological concepts and must represent value orientations for legal psychology, making it possible for one to develop within the framework of scientific cognition, without losing touch with the fundamentals of law and ethics.
