Abstract: The article is devoted to understanding and meaning of contingent truth of legal conscience, laying
the ground for understanding of unconditional truth, which is towering above formal logical knowledge and
defines it. The modern situation in the Russian society, state, conscience and culture, the need to develop
a national idea, state legal ideology, novel geopolitical reality are calling for the further study of legal conscience,
cognition of its theoretical truth, uncovering the practical need within the state and law framework.
According to a materialistic model legal conscience (and conscience in general) is reflection on state,
law and other material matters of the world via the processes in a human mind. At its base one may find the
knowledge, gained with the senses. Establishing the truth is connected with statements, which adequately
reflect upon the material reality. Contingent truth is gained due to sensory perception, logical thinking, rational
knowledge, appearing within a specific historical framework, and it changes in accordance with the
changes of these conditions.
Keywords: jurisprudence, rational cognition, conception thinking, empirical legal conscience, territorial legal conscience, temporal legal conscience, legal determinism, contingent truth, unconditional truth, objective truth, historic truth.
