- Abstract
The body of the modern Russian knowledge of law as well as of any other particular academic knowledge is complex and heterogeneous. Historical (genetic) and conceptual heterogeneity is sometimes surmounted through various theory reorganizations or terminology adjustments. A special issue, in this respect, is that of the presence of philosophy in a particular academic knowledge which is possible both in an explicit — even declarative — form and in a variety of latent forms. After 1917, the Russian doctrinal jurisprudence declared the absolute domination of the philosophy of dialectical and historical materialism, and, up to 1991, this declaration was supported by means and methods of coercion by the state. However, even without such coercion, there are many who remain true to this philosophy and, most notably, to the corresponding ideology in the present-day system of science and higher education. Meanwhile, beyond any declarations, the presence of Kantian and Neo-Kantian philosophical thought is felt to a much greater degree in both the structure and the content of legal knowledge. Moreover, this applies to both academic research (theses, articles, monographs) and education (textbooks, study materials and lecture courses). Undoubtedly, the fact deserves a wide discussion as well as philosophical and academic reflection.
