Modern mosaic of understanding the picture of the world in comparative jurisprudence

The article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations of modern attempts to understand the picture of the world of law in comparative jurisprudence. The basis of such searches is the distinction, analysis and comparison of pre-modern, modern and post-modern legal development and legal outlook, which are generally correlated with pre-national, national legal orders, and the crisis of the latter. The author comes to the conclusion that the new fragmentary, but largely agreed, visions 696 ПРАВОВА ДЕРЖАВА y Випуск 35 РОЗДІЛ VIІ • Проблеми міжнародного права та порівняльного правознавства 697 of a special picture of the world of comparative jurisprudence providing for, fi rst of all: the deconstruction of national and international law, questioning the systematicity and totality of the fi rst and the integrity of the second; and the global pluralism of legal orders, regimes and their elements of various social and communicative origins. However, a conceptually coherent alternative to nation- and state-centricity in comparative jurisprudence has not yet been proposed. This now ambiguous legacy of modernism is and should be criticized, but both the development of law at the national and international level and the picture of the world in comparative jurisprudence remain within the paradigm of legal nationalism as a system-creating and still indispensable factor in the regulation of social and inter-societal relations.

Key words: scientifi c picture of the world, comparative jurisprudence, comparative law, postmodernism, legal pluralism, legal order, national legal system.
