Abstract

Law exists in the form of institutions and in the form of representations of institutions, since the representation of something (phenomenon) has a conceptual dimension in the representation of something (concept). Two aspects of expression and manifestation of the General legal reality. Hence, in fact, arises the fundamental dilemma in determining the subject of legal science. It is the science of law or the science of legal science. Taking into account that the concept of law is a theory of law developed into a system of definitions, the practical language of law finds itself in the theoretical language of jurisprudence, and Vice versa-the languages within which the law operates, and the languages in which the phenomenon of law is comprehended and constitute the General object and subject of jurisprudence.

Jurisprudence is a conceptual part of legal reality, both an object and a subject of legal science. The evolution of jurisprudence in the cultural-historical logic of changes in its subject and methods underlies changes in its disciplinary structure and connections in the General system of social and political Sciences. Each cultural and historical epoch of the existence of law corresponds to its own grammar of law and its own epistemology of law, i.e. its analytical language and disciplinary format of legal knowledge. The phenomenon of law exists in the images and definitions of its social culture. Definitions and images do not exist by themselves. They function in a system of images and definitions that have their own conceptual and cultural biography.

The concept of law has both ontological and epistemological status. Law is thought because it exists and understood because it is defined. Each tradition of understanding law conceptually sees in the phenomenon of law what other traditions of legal understanding do not see or do not notice. The history of the development of the concept of law (conceptualization of law) is the history of the development of legal institutions (institutionalization of law). Both components of legal reality-objective and subjective grounds and conditions for the emergence and development of the phenomenon of law live in the framework definitions of their socio-culture, its language and discourse (so historical forms of awareness and understanding of their rights - from the law designated in rituals, myths, signs and symbols, to the law designated in canonical texts, doctrines and concepts, from the law of disciplinary society to the law of network communities, from the law of political domination and bureaucratic management to the law of civil communications and network agreements).
