( Pp. 30-35)

Abstract: The purpose of the study is to determine the influence of the main methodological approaches and categorical apparatus of Russian legal thought at the turn of the XIX – XX centuries on the process of creating a paradigm of legal understanding of the late XX – early XXI century in Russian legal science. Based on the methodological principle of consistency and an integrated approach combined with the use of a comparative legal research method, the article attempts to identify the historical and theoretical roots of the main concepts of legal understanding of the late XX - early XXI century, trends in their development and modern significance.
Conclusions and results: the article highlights the features of the main methodological directions of the Russian legal understanding of the late XIX - early XX century, which became the basis of the concepts of domestic legal understanding of the late XX - early XXI century: positivism with elements of sociology and normativism, libertarian theory, various variants of integrative concepts, natural law, materialistic theory of law. The practical significance of the article lies not only in self-knowledge of the paradigm of legal understanding, but also in providing upcoming legal research with powerful cognitive tools that allow revealing the deep aspects of legal understanding as a legal phenomenon.
