LAW AND AESTHETICS. EXPERIENCE OF THEORETICAL CONVERGENCE

The article contains two problematic blocs. The fi rst one is the determination of theoretical ways of approaching understanding law and aesthetics; another one is the search for backgrounds and means of aesthetic-legal education of a future lawyer. As undisputable is the possibility of aesthetic evaluation of any phenomenon or process, as law can also be under such possibility. But, unfortunately, connection of law and aesthetics is still to be proved, because of, fi rst of all, great importance of emotional attitude to legal propositions which is closely connected with the developed aesthetic feeling. It is shown in the article, that aesthetic components of theoretical thinking coexist with logical, because at its best manifestations we can see the very art of thinking that commands respect as to the author, as to law in common. Aesthetic component can be found practically in all forms of legal reality: in speeches, in written fixations, in legal symbols and technologies, in procedural modifi cations, in justice of law, etc. Emotional attitude to all these rests on the aesthetic taste of a lawyer. Aesthetic taste systematizes person’s legal experience, facilitates analytical thinking development, capability of optimal regulation of legal relations in society. High level of aesthetic culture of a lawyer is formed from the principles that can be marked as aesthetic dominant, legal harmony, phenomenon of creative will, etc. It is clear, that new tasks are demanded from the system of education. Information, given to students (either in lectures, or in selfstudy courses), should contain, as it better to say, ?emotional coding? of logical schemes to make their perception by the students partial and personally interesting. It will facilitate transmitting the information into subconsciousness and mighty straitening intuitive activity of a studying young person. Using any legal discipline as an example of aesthetic attempts of jurisprudence as for transparent structuring of the society develop aesthetic component of justice and legal conscience.
