The legal values in N. Y danilevskiy’s civilizational doctrine

The article makes an attempt to analyze the axiological legal approaches of N.Y. Danilevskiy, who developed the theory of cultural and historical types. Danilevskiy suggested an idea of nonexistence of a universal civilization with unified axiological legal directives. The thinker recognized the historic ethno-political community as the basic value that determines the relevance of other legal values. Recognition of the law as a phenomenon functionally supporting such values of higher order, as religion and morality, is typical for political and legal views of N.Y. Danilevskiy.
