Journal Title: Jurnalul juridic naţional: teorie şi practică - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 3

Abstract

Based on the methodology of legal anthropology, the author critically analyzes the stereotypes of the secular paradigm. He claims that humanism is the foundation of democratic law consciousness. Paper discloses the content of such distinctive for Orthodoxy moral principles as philanthropy and obligation. It shows the nature of their interrelation with the democratic ideals of freedom, equality and brotherhood. The author argues that secular individualism inevitably leads to the degeneration of pseudo-democratic law consciousness into conflictual sense. On the contrary, Orthodox moral principles determine the solidary and cooperative nature of law consciousness. Thus, modern implementation of Orthodox principles forms universal life-affirming creative character of democracy concept. In turn, democratic law consciousness contributes to the development of the Orthodox tradition and to the purification from obsolete rudiments that are not related to the evangelical commandments.
