Philosophical Problems of Law-Making
Abstract
Abstract. The need for a philosophical analysis of law-making is conditioned by the fact that it (law-making) is reduced in jurisprudence (in particular, in the theory of the state and law) exclusively to the activity of the state, while ignoring the participation in this process of subjects of civil society and individual citizens. The statement about law-making as an activity of the state "...with the participation of civil society" but still "in cases provided for by law" is the "most progressive" reasoning in jurisprudence, which is still tied to statism (exaltation of the role of the state). In Ukraine, which has taken a course for the development of the state and law according to the European liberal-democratic model, in the future (especially after the end of the war), the role of the state will inevitably decrease and the role of civil society will increase, especially in the field of law-making. Therefore, the rejection of the monopoly role of the state in this process is a requirement of the time, which should first be implemented at the theoretical level and later put into practice. The reduction of the role of the state in social management with the expansion of self-management will indicate the completion of a certain cycle of the development of society, which lasted approximately from the 7th millennium AD. until recent times. At the same time, law preceded the development of the state, and the state, having fulfilled its function, should leave the historical arena. And law-making, especially such an aspect of it as the growing participation of civil society in this process, is an illustration of the indicated trend.
Keywords: law-making; civil society; state; law; statute.
