Ontological approach to knowledge of the legal psychology value system

Abstract

The article reflects the individual results of the process of knowledge of the value system of legal psychology. The value system of legal psychology is considered as a set of interconnected ideals and meanings developed on the basis of the integration of legal and psychological knowledge, which is a singular formation and setting the goal and objectives of legal psychology. The question of the search for approaches and methods of systematizing the values of legal psychology is recognized as relevant. The author’s opinion is that the ontology (the philosophical study of being) and the ontological approach is the key to the systematization of the values of legal psychology through the method of dialectics and the principle of determinism. The ontological approach to the knowledge of the value system of legal psychology allows not only to assemble them into a single piece, but also to specify the tasks and purpose of legal psychology as a scientific branch.
