Abstract

The article clarifies the potential role and importance of the methodology for modern jurisprudence. It is noted that modern methodological criteria are an important and very universal rational tool for assessing both the quality of scientific projects and the novelty of the scientific results. It is shown that the awareness of scientists and experts of the methodological prerequisites of their scientific work contributes to the understanding of the advantages of a particular approach, understanding the uniqueness of a particular scientific school, as well as the limitations of the current methodological tradition in the study of the same topic. The authors are convinced that for the further development of scientific research in the field of law and the state, it is necessary to move from traditional cognitive paradigms, set by samples of authoritative research and examples of well - known publications, to the conscious construction of methodological programs - on the basis of the methodological culture that has developed in the history of science, which originates it develops in a peculiar way in the context of human history.
