Abstract

The interpretation of the law is an essential element of law enforcement by the state authorities and other competent authorities. It is primarily aimed at ensuring the rule of law and the rule of law in society.

Law enforcement is a multilevel complex system, whose peculiar characteristic is the presence of a spatial-temporal hierarchy. The theoretical and legal study of the theory and practice of law enforcement at specific stages of historical development is a crucial direction and an urgent task of legal science because of the special role of space and time in jurisprudence, namely, violation of the principle of their homogeneity in empirical and analytical sciences.

In the historical and hermeneutic sciences, the cognition of social, including legal, phenomena and texts is achieved by understanding and explaining the meaning using the methods and rules of hermeneutics. The critical analysis of theories and concepts is carried out by interpreting texts, which is paramount in the practical implementation of law.

More specifically, the interpretation of law is a complex cognitive process based on the conceptual and categorical apparatus of philosophy and law, covering broad legal reality. Its central task is to clarify the cause-and-effect, spatial-temporal, political-economic, and socio-conditioned connections related to the existence of a person in the state. Subsequently, the paramount is the establishment of the meaning, content, and purpose of the normative legal act
