The paper is devoted to the discussion of the fundamental ideas of one of the most well-known French philosopher – Jacques Maritain concerning the problems of personalization and pluralism in modern democratic society. Exceptional actuality of the Maritain's treatment of the problems of the relations between laic state and believes for modern democratic countries social field are the quintessence of the paper. The fundamental questions of the philosophy of law: personalism and pluralism in the light of the concepts and interpretations of one of the brightest representatives of the French philosophical and law schools Jacques Maritain (November 18, 1882, Paris, France - April 28th 1973, Toulouse, France), which has become already the classic theorist are to be considered in the paper. Nowadays these issues seem to be particularly interesting and relevant: the transformation of sovereignty in the era of globalization, the political and the personal, mental and social transformation of the national identity and traditions on the one hand and the European integration and globalization on the other that are the challenges of the day.

The modern approaches to the evolution of the concepts of state and state power in a globalizing world is a subject of the paper. State power as the state evolves because of the need to address the systemic problems of society, requiring the development of new quality management resources. State power, like the political system, formulates and implements the collective goals of society or groups existing in it. The authors focus on the use of system-structural, functional methods of analysis of the state and state power, which makes it possible not only to explain state and political changes, but also to predict them. The authors substantiate the relevance of the methodological approaches of prominent economists and sociologists Schumpeter and Hayek to analyze contemporary problems of democracy, when the adaptive capacity of a state is aimed at reducing and reducing its role in the life of modern global society.
The article describes and analyzes in detail the state evolution mechanism. The authors show that many different theories and doctrines, various schemes for typologizing the evolutionary forms of the state have been developed over the long history of the existence of legal, philosophical and political sciences. The work content includes the discussion of the difficulties of developing rigorous theories of the evolution of state forms associated with the complexity and ambiguity of particular historical processes of state formation and development.The authors distinguish and consider the evolutionary features of the modern state, justify that the modern state as a historical type possesses a number of features that are not inherent (or inherent only in part) in both the traditional and the proto-modern state, which form its evolutionary features, specificity of functioning and evolutionary transformation. In addition, the article identifies and analyzes four main innovative stages in the political and legal institutionalization of modern political domination: civil state, rule-of-law state, democratic rule-of-law state and social rule-of-law state.

This article analyzes the fundamental issues of the evolution of approaches to the legal category of state power. The authors consider the phenomenon of power as one of the most important types of social interaction. The authors show that during this evolution, along with the preservation of universal (essential) characteristics due to the nature and social purpose of the state, there is a modification of those properties and characteristics of state power that have a specific historical character and depend on many factors affecting ways of implementing state power. The article reveals the main types of state power and methods of its implementation. According to the authors, the power is not the result of only violence, the suppression of one person by another, but comes from the very nature of man. The authors reveal the category of "state power" by examining its content, characteristics, elements, subjects, and objects. They examine the ways of expressing political power as a type of domination of the corresponding social group depending on a particular historical type of society. ; Este artículo analiza los problemas fundamentales de la evolución de los enfoques a la categoría legal del poder estatal.

Авторы показывают, что в ходе этой эволюции наряду с сохранением универсальных (существенных) характеристик, обусловленных природой и социальным предназначением государства, происходит модификация тех свойств и характеристик государственной власти, которые имеют специфический исторический характер и зависят от множество факторов, влияющих на способы осуществления государственной власти. В статье раскрыты основные виды государственной власти и методы ее реализации. По мнению авторов, власть не является результатом только насилия, подавления одного человека другим, а исходит из самой природы человека.
