Abstract

The article deals with the problems of becoming
an institute of semiotics in social law. The issues
of doctrinal semiotic vacuum affecting the legal policy
of full development of social law are considered.
The author notes, referring to the meaning of
the term "semiotics" (Greek "semeiotikón"), he is
from "seméion", which means sign, sign, and semiology,
as a science, explores the properties of signs
and sign systems, natural and artificial languages.
Scientist O.M. Balynska proposes to define the semiotics
of law as a separate line of philosophy of law,
conceptually covering all the basic philosophical
aspects (ontology, epistemology, axiology, anthropology
and praxeology) of law as a social phenomenon.
Reflecting on reality as an image of images, it
would not be superfluous to note the position of G.
Anders, who states that images are, in principle, world, so when they show the world, they also hide it.
Finally, Anders notes that sensationalism is essentially
a pattern; and not only because it covers them
and extinguishes them; but also because it tends to be
templates.
The absolutization of law, according to V.V.
Zavalnyuk - is also a myth of law as a realization of
justice, the ideal. The myth that embodied the messianic
image of law, which existed at various historical
stages, was transformed and formed many derivative
myths. Yu.G. Barabash and V.L. Fedorenko comes to
the conclusion that the social policy of the state,
including at the constitutional level, should be reoriented
solely on the issue of social care of citizens to
create conditions when everyone can guarantee his
or her normal existence by his or her own efforts. A similar position is held by the scientists M.I. Inshin and V.I. Shcherbyna. They note that, as a rule, the ultimate goals of social policy are to achieve balance, stability and security of life in society, the integrity and dynamism of its development, the provision of sufficient material, organizational and other resources for their progress and improvement, and ultimately the creation of conditions for a peaceful life of citizens, their confidence in tomorrow.
Key words: social law, legal semiotics, social policy, social law semiotics, law as a sign system.
