Theoretical and methodological features of the study of the history of criminal-legal protection of spiritual and moral values

Abstract

Historical and legal analysis of criminal and legal protection of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values requires clarification and development of the methodological foundations of criminal law. As a promising epistemological position, it is necessary to recognize the possibilities of socio-cultural understanding of law and civilizational logic of the historical process. They allow us to recognize: the presence of a unique set of value ideas that identify the Russian state as an independent civilization; the presence of eternal dynamics of civilizational Russian values while preserving their value core; understanding the inextricable connection of the dynamics of values, their emergence, selection, development and preservation, with the history of the Russian state and criminal law.
