The legal doctrine of natural law in the regulation of social relations based on the rule of law

Abstract

The article is devoted to the philosophical and legal problems of the value aspects of the legal doctrine of the ideas of natural law in the regulation of social relations, which within the existing legal doctrines are designed to enrich the legal toolkit, to reveal the essential properties of law as a phenomenon.
 It was found that the term «doctrine» in relation to legal and state understanding covers all essential properties and approaches to these phenomena. Relying on the scientific achievements of legal scholars, it is possible to find out the essence of law and the state, and later, to take this knowledge as a basis for law-making activities for the formation of legislation and for its full interpretation.
 It is emphasized that, based on the statements of scientists, legal doctrine should be understood as a complete and harmonious system of principles, views, ideas, ideas, concepts, which forms the foundation of legal understanding, through which it has a direct influence on law-making and law enforcement.
 It is noted that the essence of a person is to fully exist, to ensure his livelihood, without violating the rights and freedoms of other people, and to contribute to the restoration and preservation of peaceful and humane coexistence of mankind in the globalized space. Therefore, a person's right to life, to observe the principle of preserving human dignity and all the needs arising from this can be considered natural in the essence of a person.
 The doctrine of natural law in no way opposes its ideas to the positivist approach, but on the contrary, allows to prevent the arbitrariness of norms adopted by the state regarding the honor and dignity of a person. The valuable aspects of the doctrine of natural law consist in the general human perception of natural-law norms as divine (for a believer), natural-physical laws of the construction of the universe (for materialists).
