Проблема определения основ правовых ценностей традиционно рассматривается в рамках естественно-правового интерпретивизма и эпистемологического формализма. Эпистемологический подход утверждает степень доказательности, непротиворечивости и истинности изучаемых понятий и мировоззрений. Однако нельзя отрицать содержательную связь права и морали, в связи с чем возникает вопрос о соотношении эпистемологических и аксиологических начал в концепции правовых ценностей. Цель исследования – выявить целостное представление об эпистемологических правовых ценностях и определить их функциональные преимущества в юридической практике.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. В статье представлен компаративистский анализ естественно-правовых и позитивистских воззрений относительно концепции правовых ценностей, организация и структуризация положений и аргументов, подкрепляющих практическую применимость обоих подходов. Анализ релевантных научных исследований даёт возможность выделить иерархическую структуру изучаемого концепта и ее составляющие. </p></sec><sec><title>Результаты исследования</title><p>Результаты исследования. Установлено, что правовая ценность нейтральна по своей природе. Систематизация аргументов, утверждающих естественно-правовой подход, объясняет моральную основу правовых ценностей, однако мораль не может быть универсально применимой из-за социокультурных различий. Соответственно, теория о равноправном единстве аксиологических и эпистемологических ценностей права несостоятельна. В рамках правового реализма теория аксиологических ценностей не противоречит позитивистским принципам, при условии соблюдения требования верховенства права, что обуславливает значимость эпистемологических ценностей, направленных на обеспечение эффективной юридической практики (последовательной и предсказуемой), а также исключение предвзятости и дискриминации.</p></sec><sec><title>Обсуждение и заключение</title><p>Обсуждение и заключение. Функциональным ядром любой правовой системы являются эпистемологические ценности, утверждающие принцип объективности права, при этом альтернативный способ мышления (морализирующая интерпретация) существует только в качестве предвестника методологических изменений социальных правоотношений. Разработка авторского определения понятию «эпистемологические правовые ценности» позволяет расширить аналитический инструментарий современной науки. Результаты исследования могут применяться в дальнейшем к процессу моделирования эпистемологии юридической практики. </p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Introduction</title><p>Introduction. Traditionally, the problem of defining the foundations of legal values is studied within the framework of natural law interpretivism and formal epistemology. The epistemic approach asserts the degree of evidence, consistency and truthfulness of the studied concepts and worldviews. However, due to the substantive connection acknowledged between law and morality, there arises the problem of correlating the epistemic and axiological principles within the concept of legal values. The aim of the study is to develop a holistic understanding of epistemic legal values and determine their functional advantages in the legal practices.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and Methods</title><p>Materials and Methods. The article presents a comparative analysis of the attitudes towards the concept of legal values from the point of view of natural-law and positivism. The provisions and arguments demonstrating practical applicability of both approaches were arranged and structured. The analysis of relevant scientific research made it possible to distinguish the hierarchical structure of the concept under study and its components.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. The original neutrality of a legal value has been ascertained. Systematization of the arguments in favour of the natural law approach makes it possible to explain the moral basis of the legal values. However, morality cannot be universally applicable due to sociocultural differences. Therefore, the theory of equal unity of axiological and epistemic values of law proves to be untenable. In the frame of legal realism, the theory of axiological values does not contradict the principles of positivism, on condition of adhering to the principle of the supremacy of law, which results in increased significance of the epistemic values aimed at ensuring the efficient legal practices (consistent and predictable), and eliminating bias and discrimination.</p><p>Discussion and Conclusion. The epistemic values that affirm the principle of legal objectivity are the functional core of any legal system, whereas an alternative thinking paradigm (the moralizing interpretation) can be considered only as a predictor of the methodological changes in social legal relationships. The definition of the notion of “epistemic legal values” developed by the authors contributes to the expansion of the analytical toolkit of modern science. The results of the study can be implemented into the process of epistemic modeling of legal practices.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>эпистемологические ценности права</kwd><kwd>естественное право</kwd><kwd>позитивное право</kwd><kwd>юридический интерпретивизм</kwd><kwd>аксиологические ценности</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>epistemic values of law</kwd><kwd>natural law</kwd><kwd>positive law</kwd><kwd>legal interpretivism</kwd><kwd>axiological values</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Авторы выражают благодарность рецензентам, чья критическая оценка материалов и предложения по их совершенствованию способствовали значительному повышению качества статьи.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The authors are grateful to the reviewers for critical evaluation of the materials and providing proposals on their improvement, which has significantly enhanced the quality of the article.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Шапсугов Д.Ю.
