The correlation of morality and law in the context of V.M. Shafirov's natural-positive theory of law: an alternative reading

Introduction. The article reveals issues related both to the analysis of conceptual models of the relationship between morality and law, and to the author's approach outlined in the framework of the natural-positive theory of law by the modern Russian jurist Vladimir Moiseevich Shafirov. Based on the analysis of V.M. Shafirov's approach to the historical evolution of law, various variations of the ratio of morality and law depending on the ratio of natural law and positive law are shown. At the same time, theses are formulated that allow us to rethink the provisions of the naturally positive theory of law on the basis of an alternative reading of the provisions of the theory under study.
