Abstract

At present, the connection between national legal theory and practice is severed, the legal science is dominated by neglect of its theoretical part, which affects the system of legal education. Modernity requires a relevant legal theory that would function for and in the name of practice. The doctrine of pragmatism can serve as a successful philosophical basis for this. Purpose: to analyze the experience of the past and the possibilities of its application in modern realities in terms of the search of theory for practice. Methods: analysis, synthesis, description, comparison, interpretation. Results: the research allows to conclude that legal theory based on the philosophy of pragmatism can more effectively fulfil its purpose and will be able to draw attention to the speculative beginnings of political and legal existence and its ultimate foundations in the moments of crisis.
