Historiographical and philosophical legal contexts in Criminal Law

The article discusses the problems of developing and improving historiographical approaches to the science of Criminal Law, which are a necessary prerequisite for strengthening and developing the philosophical and legal component in the structure of the scientific nature of Criminal Law. Insufficient attention to the problems of historiographical and philosophical legal studies of criminal law affects the general state and nature of this field of knowledge and social practice. A substantive and constructive-critical study of historiography and relevant contexts in the field of Criminal Law science shows the possibilities of significantly supplementing traditional ideas about the doctrinal content, conceptual structure, as well as the direction of development of the science of Criminal Law, which, in the context of the formation of the architecture of the modern multipolar world, should strengthen its cognitive and explanatory capabilities, demonstrate the stability and independence of domestic science. This is a conceptual understanding, in the terminology of P. A. Florensky, of the genetic series in the conceptual, linguistic and ideological-institutional environment of the science of Criminal Law, the nature and types of development of national criminal law literatures.
