Game facet of the symbolic nature of social normativity

The article considers the symbolic nature of social normativity. It is substantiated that representation of the functioning of the rule of law in the form of a playing field can reveal the general gaming aspect of the norm. A comparative analysis of modern domestic research in the field of philosophy of law and the achievements of foreign authors in the analytical philosophy and legal positivism has allowed us to systematize the main risks of replacing the rule of law by the game. We have attempted to trace the transformations of modern philosophy when interpreting the game nature of sociality. The article reveals the dialogical nature of social norms, the ontic and ontological levels of studying the game facet of the symbolic nature of social normativity. It is shown that the rule of law in its symbolic nature not only distributes social roles, but also participates in their definition. We have traced the link between the rule of law and discursive practice in legal reality.
