Abstract

Abstract. The relevance of the research is stipulated by the challenges faced by modern international law, turbulence and uncertainty provoked by the actions of one of subjects of international law which gravely violates the principles and norms of international law. The author touches upon the moment of origin of philosophical and legal views on international law, their development in the views and works of Socrates, Epicurus, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Hugo Grotius, and outlines the current trends in philosophical and legal thought that can be traced in current universal international legal instruments and the prospects for transforming the philosophical and legal foundation of international law. The author provides an answer to the question of the effectiveness of international law in the future, taking into account current tendencies. The purpose of the research is to highlight and analyze the philosophical and legal foundation of the science of international law, to identify the patterns and problems facing the modern philosophical and legal foundation, and to characterize the prospects for the development of the philosophical thought of international law. The material presented herein is of a certain scientific novelty, since the subject of philosophical and legal comprehension of modern international law is rarely studied, despite its exceptional importance. The practical significance of the research lies in the fact that the author has proposed a new vision of the main role of international law in the context of human development.
