Reflections on the Correlation of General Theoretical Legal Sciences

The article is devoted to the problem of the general theoretical legal disciplines’ correlation, which examines the correlation of philosophy of law, theory of law and sociology of law, clarifies the specifics of their research and the subject field of studying a complex and multidimensional phenomenon as law. It is argued that the general theoretical legal disciplines represent an organic unity in the system of jurisprudence, are closely interrelated with all legal sciences, but at the same time have “movable” boundaries in the study of law and a close connection with other socio-humanitarian knowledge. A theoretical position is made on the need to develop an appropriate theory and methodology in the field of studying legal phenomena and the integrated development of domestic general theoretical legal sciences that meet modern social relations emerging in the life of Russian society.
