Abstract:
Discussion on the issues of positive legal responsibility has been going on for several decades by now. Really, it is necessary to study positive legal responsibility, and who but the legal scholars are best suited for the task? At the same time there is quite much terminological confusion, while there is no generally accepted definition of positive legal responsibility. E.g., positive legal responsibility is referred to as active responsibility, perspective responsibility, positive-moderate responsibility, promotional responsibility, some authors identify it with sence of duty or legal responsibility. In D.A. Lipinsky’s article one can find complex analysis of this problem. The author also reviews contradictions in modern theory of law, criticizes positions of a number of Russian legal scholars, such as M.I. Baytin, N.P. Koldaeva.

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=49898
Abstract:
The fall of the legal tradition, the dusk of law, the crisis of law and state, of health sphere, education and science - these are the topical issues in the Russian society, and they are often discussed. What does, in fact, happen in the sphere of law? Maybe there are grounds for a more optimistic forecast? As the author of this article Professor Samigullin notes, it seems that the case is not exactly the crisis of law. Rather, it’s the crisis of legal conscience, appreciation of law, which is caused by reevaluation of legal values due to the transition from the authoritarian approach to law towards a more humanistic approach, and which may in the end lead to a new type of legal understanding in our society.
