Abstract

Aesthetic perception of legal phenomena is a complex mental process based on a rational sense, emotions, preferences, and the values of the recipient. At the same time, the evaluation criteria are not only stylistic beauty, but also internal content, therefore, the aesthetic dimension is inextricably linked with axiology and ontology. The main goal of the article is to study the effect of aesthetics on the ontological constructions of law. For this, with the help of structural-functional, formal-legal, regulatory, logical, comparative methods are distinguished several aesthetic levels (structural, dynamic, receptive, contextual). Ways to achieve balance between conflicting ideals, principles, institutions at different levels are offered. Recognizing the importance of the individual perception of legal phenomena and the influence of relevant contexts on them, it is important not to lose objective grounds for law. Particular attention in the article is paid to the sign of supervision, which denotes the complex relationship of aesthetic categories and objects of legal reality. The possibility of logical supervenience of legal phenomena in ideal categories is postulated. The application of the concept of the ontological relativity of Quine to determine status of objects of reality made it possible to propose the methodology of combining ontological units of law and aesthetic modifications into a harmonious whole. Based on the results of the work, a conclusion is drawn on the instrumental significance of aesthetic holism for the formation of ontological constructions of law.
