ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE STATE: HUMANIZING LEGAL REALITY AS A CHALLENGE TO LEVIATHAN

Abstract

Aim. Search for scientific approaches to building an optimal model of human-state interaction. Methodology. The research methodology is based on post-classical jurisprudence: anthropocentrism and constructivism. The state is considered as a certain social construct, constantly reproduced by the actions of people in accordance with their existing mental attitudes and ideas. The general scientific dialectical method of cognition was also used. Results. A judgment was made on the need to build a harmonious model of the relationship between public power and man based on an understanding of the role of each subject in the everyday design of the state and its institutions. Such a model is characterized by the existence of effective mechanisms for the active realization of individual rights and freedoms. Research implications. Basic approaches to understanding the anthropology of the state have been developed in the context of identifying the key role of the subject in the reproduction of state institutions as a certain social construct.
