Integrative Law Apology in Light of the Reflective Interpretation
It is necessary to separate the reflective hermeneutic strategy from the dogmatic one in understanding the integrative law. Taking into account the cultural essence of law (integrative law) the reflective hermeneutic strategy is declared to be the on first place. The goal is to provide rational for the dialectical linking of integrative law and law within the scope of the reflective hermeneutic strategy. The above mentioned goal defines the following objectives: to correlate the social and legal being to vest an ontological status in integrative law; to interrelate the “metaphysical” and “physical” hypostases of integrative law to characterize the legitimate essence of the latter; to differ the ontological and methodological aspects of integrative law to unveil the heuristical advantages of inclusive methodology as compared with exclusive methodology. The methods used: dialectical method, structural method, comprehensive method, comparative method, factual method. Based on the reflective hermeneutic strategy the conclusions are made as follows. The integrative law may be interpreted as an “unfolded” law determined by the “contained” law (law in general) and therefore becomes the real regulator of social life. Thus the law in general is the potential regulator of social life while the integrative law is the actual one (accomplished fact). It was concluded that law and integrative law are identical to eliminate the cognitive dissonance situation (there is choice between law and integrative law) therefore considering the current discussion as losing its meaning.
