JUSTICE AND HUMANISM IN RUSSIAN CRIMINAL LAW
In: Socialʹno-političeskie nauki: mežvuzovskij naučnyj recenziruemyj žurnal, Band 11, Heft 1, S. 45-52
The article is devoted to the most important issues of morality and law, issues that make up public relations' value structure - justice and humanism. Justice and humanism as universally recognized virtues are ambiguously understood and interpreted in literature. Still, they are fundamental ideas that are the foundation of the harmonious existence of the human community. As the fundamental ideas of the virtues considered in the article are reflected in the modern Criminal Code of the Russian Federation as the principles of criminal law. What is the ontological essence of the principles established in the Criminal Code, what is the influence of ancient truths on the formation of the semantics of the "virtues of criminal law", what is the error of the legislator who formulated these principles - the essence of the article proposed to the reader.
