Rule of Law and Civil Law (Theoretical Legal Research) Study Guide

The book considers a wide range of issues relating to the theory and methodology of the study of the rule of law and civil society, their identifying features and features, the main ways and forms of their relationship and interaction. Considering the various theories of the rule of law and civil society from the angle of the adequacy of the reflection of real reality in them, the author comes to the conclusion that these are the theory of not real state and social education, but the alleged, very idealized future. There has never been and there is never what is called the legal state and civil society, based on those high requirements that are presented to these formations by ideologists and their followers.
