Vasiliev, A. A. The Orthodox Conception of State and Law in XXIth Century (V. Sorokin and A. Velichko)

Abstract: The article is devoted to the Orthodox conception of state and law restored by A. Velichko and V. Sorokin in early XXIth. The author of the present article provides an insight into the Orthodox theory of state and law by appealing to such legal ideas as the power and service, legal responsibility, moral justifi cation of law, symphony of church and state and conscience grounds of law. The author of the article proves that the Orthodox interpretation of state and law is quite typical for Russian spiritual culture. The research shows the deep infl uence of Orthodoxy on Russian legal consciousness. The author of the article sees the possibility to restore a healthy legal consciousness by coming back to the spiritual grounds of the Russian civilization that allow the state and law to overcome the evil and disorder and lead to the unity and moral life of the Russian nation.


Keywords:
