Abstract

This article mainly serves to prove the thesis that the ideological framework of legal consciousness is the element that makes up the conceptual units, each of which represents an organic unity of various social and spiritual phenomena.

The subject of the research are ideas representing the essence of legal consciousness from the perspective of its organic connection to other forms of social awareness, therefore determining the multifunctional nature of right.

A direct consequence of the basic idea of the article, which claims that the basic conceptual units underlying the ideological framework of legal consciousness are not related to law in their essence (except for the idea of justice), is expressed in two methodologically significant thoughts: firstly, ideas make up the foundation for the critical evaluation of the technically axiological assumption that they embody the essence of legal awareness itself, and secondly, they declare the synthesising capacity of legal awareness which, in turn, manifests the comprehensive, and in modern society, genuinely universal nature of right in its reality.

The final result of the research is justification of the statement that the ideological framework of legal consciousness is made up of conceptual units which shape up and reproduce the organic connection of right and legal consciousness to other forms of social life and social consciousness.
