Ancient Greece as the birthplace of culture and theoretical science. The appearance of theoretical approaches in various sciences. Ways of deducting fundamental theoretical schemes: deductive and genetic-constructive derivation. Scientific revolutions - discovery of anomalies and/or the result of the interaction of various disciplines. Global scientific revolutions - creators of scientific rationality types. Changing ideals, category networks and ideological applications of science as basic distinguishers between classical, non-classical and post-non-classical science.

The objective of the course is to provide the students with an understanding of the basic philosophical starting points of science and the knowledge to understand contemporary socio-political and legal problems in the society.

After completing the course students are able to analyse the sociopolitical processes in the society, and apply their knowledge for interpreting legal issues.
