Implementation of Legal Norms: Methodological Tools of Cognition

The article focuses on the issue of implementing legal norms from the perspective of conceptualization and the possibility of utilizing various methodological tools.

It outlines the potential application of components of instrumental legal theory and a specific set of methodological tools, including: methodological approaches, worldview, general scientific and specialized scientific methods, principles of scientific cognition, the use of which contributed to achieving the desired scientific results.

A general description is provided of the scientific approaches utilized in the process of general theoretical analysis of the problem of implementing legal norms (phenomenological and hermeneutic, activity-functional, anthropological, etc.).

Alongside scientific approaches, great importance and significance are given to methods of scientific cognition. In the process of analyzing legal implementation activities, attention is focused on the most important methods (dialectical, comparative legal, sociological, prognostic, etc.).

Scientific principles of cognition (such as scientific nature, historicism, objectivity, comprehensiveness, reliability, etc.) are highlighted and characterized, contributing to a more balanced characterization of the problem and forming conceptual foundations of the theory of legal norm implementation.

It is summarized that proper methodological support for the issue of implementing legal norms facilitates the ability to understand the patterns and trends of development in this legal phenomenon, reveals its dynamics and activity-behavioral nature, close interconnection with other phenomena and processes, and uncovers the relationship between general features of legal norm implementation and the specifics of its forms and mechanisms.

Key words: implementation of legal norms, forms of legal norm implementation, mechanism of legal norm implementation, instrumental legal theory, methodology of scientific cognition, scientific approaches, methods of legal norm implementation research, principles of scientific cognition.
