Abstract

The purpose of the article is to attract the attention of modern specialists on the philosophy of law the achievements of the Ukrainian school of 60-ies of the last century in the field of general philosophy and philosophical anthropology, as well as to show that a number of provisions of anthropology of law are a composites of the relevant provisions of philosophical anthropology, and that the dialectical relationship of legal anthropology with legal praxeology, axiology, ontology and gnoseology are conditioned to the dialectical interrelations of philosophical anthropology with philosophical praxeology, axiology, ontology and gnoseology. It should be noted that Vladimir Kuzmenko in his article «Оnthology, anthropology, axiology, gnoseology of Thomas Aquinas law conception» considers the question of syncretism, that is, the indissoluble unity of the legal ontology, anthropology, axiology and epistemology in connection with a philosophical-legal concept of this thinker, but only with respect to this concept, the question should be put more widely.

Organic interconnection of anthropology with other major sections of the philosophy of law due to the presence of the organic interrelations of philosophical anthropology with appropriate disciplines.
