The Application of the Methodology of Mathematical Research in the Legal Epistemology of the Early Slavophiles of Moscow Philosophical Mathematical School

Abstract

In the era of the 19th century, the search for national self-determination through interdisciplinary research at the intersection of philosophy, mathematics, theology revealed various cultural and historical types. In the process of interdisciplinary interaction of theological and philosophical, moral and ethical and, in particular, mathematical sciences, there was a search for integrative knowledge - an original philosophical system of integral knowledge, a contribution to the development of which was made by the early Slavophiles and representatives of the Moscow philosophical mathematical school. The ideas, mainly those of A. S. Khomyakov, were subsequently developed by representatives of the original Moscow philosophical mathematical school, who became the exponents of one of the triads of the early Slavophiles, namely: "Faith, knowledge, experience." This allowed us to look at the essence of law as a phenomenon of a transcendental nature, which is characterized, on the one hand, by the beginnings of an irrational world order, and on the other, by transcendental ideas of the eternal search for truth, justice and legality. It was the combination of the national Slavic worldview with the achievements of fundamental science that allowed the early Slavophiles to describe the foundations of legal culture and legal consciousness of the Russian people with the help of theological and legal constructions. The author also believes that the Slavophile philosophy of law forms the basis of legal Slavistics, which is being revived in modern Russia.
