Philosophy has historically served as metatheory of law. The world view prevailed in every age has determined legal consciousness. Abolition of the state ideology in the early 1990s in Russia apart from the recognized positive effect had some negative implications. During this period it’s possible to observe the following phenomena: origin of many competing theories of legal consciousness, disappearance of a single legal space, spreading of the selective right that violates the main principles of democracy: equality of citizens before the law and justice. The lawyers’ idea of integrative theory of law turns out to be impractical because of the lack of a generally recognized basis of law. The author proves the thesis that human essence is the substance of law. Therefore anthropological basis of law is a foundation for the development of integrative theory and solution of the identified problems.
Key words: philosophy; law; ideology; democracy; justice; freedom; person; legal theory; legal consciousness; legal space; anthropological basis of law.
